Reviews"Thomas's book is remarkable for its scope and intellectual coherence. He notes that the oscillation between the parochial concerns of a small nation under threat of cultural extinction and a cosmopolitan impulse, that is no less powerful, is evident in Czech literary scholarship. The Bohemian Body 's novel point of view is bound to stimulate discussion across the field of Czech literary criticism."-Maria Nemcov Banerjee, Smith College, author of Terminal Paradox: The Novels of Milan Kundera, "Thomas's book is remarkable for its scope and intellectual coherence.

Synopsis "The Bohemian Body" examines the modernist forces within nineteenth- and twentieth-century Europe that helped shape both Czech nationalism and artistic interaction among ethnic and social groups- Czechs and Germans, men and women, gays and straights. By re-examining the work of key Czech male and female writers and poets from the National Revival to the Velvet Revolution, Alfred Thomas exposes the tendency of Czech literary criticism to separate the political and the personal in modern Czech culture. He points instead to the complex interplay of the political and the personal across ethnic, cultural, and intellectual lines and within the works of such individual writers as Karel Hynek MÁ cha, Bozena NemcovÁ , and Rainer Maria Rilke, resulting in the emergence and evolution of a protean modern identity. The product is a seemingly paradoxical yet nuanced understanding of Czech culture (including literature, opera, and film), long overlooked or misunderstood by Western scholars., The Bohemian Body examines the modernist forces within nineteenth- and twentieth-century Europe that helped shape both Czech nationalism and artistic interaction among ethnic and social groups - Czechs and Germans, men and women, gays and straights.
