| Description | Is it possible to “invent” the past? Through a series of studies, this volume explores the history of how this process occurred in Czechoslovakia within the period from about the end of the First World War until the 1960s. It focuses specifically on the re-invention of the “national” Middle Ages at the background of the meeting of different linguistic and ethnic groups – Czechs, Slovaks, Germans, and Russians – where one group would often negate, reshape, and ignore the point of view of the other, within an increasingly fractured political geography of the country. |
