Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Torch-Bearers of Bohemia This story, which has been awarded Honorable Mention by the Imperial Academy of Science of Petrograd, is the work of a living writer; but its scene is laid in past times, in the days of John Hus and his contemporaries. Although it is full of exciting incident as a story, "The Torchbearers of Bohemia" seeks also to give a picture of the life of Bohemia at the beginning of the Fifteenth Century, and to show the intense hatred, which persists to this day, of the Czechs (or Bohemians, as they are called throughout) for their Teutonic oppressors. In such high-colored passages as those connected with the trial of Hus, or the revolt in Prague upon the death of King Venceslas, the author is so clearly combining her vivid sense of historical color with intense sympathy for the Hussite cause, that this personal conviction unquestionably adds to the "immediacy" of the passionate scenes, and brings them leaping to the eye. Hus, to the writer, is the hero of the book, in spite of all the heroic virtues of Jerome and Vok; while the villain is not so much Brancaccio as the whole assembly of the clerical abuses against which Hus thundered his denunciations. Wickedness in plenty is here of a personal and quite privately terrible kind; but then so is one lurid aspect of the history of a fierce religious conflict.

Download or read book Popular Bohemia written by Mary Gluck and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2009-07-01 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A radical reconceptualization of modernism, this book traces the appearance of the modern artist to the Paris of the 1830s and links the emergence of an enduring modernist aesthetic to the fleeting forms of popular culture. Contrary to conventional views of a private self retreating from history and modernity, Popular Bohemia shows us the modernist as a public persona parodying the stereotypes of commercial mass culture. Here we see how the modern artist—alternately assuming the roles of the melodramatic hero, the urban flâneur, the female hysteric, the tribal primitive—created his own version of an expressive, public modernity in opposition to an increasingly repressive and conformist bourgeois culture. And here we see how a specifically modern aesthetic culture in nineteenth-century Paris came about, not in opposition to commercial popular culture, but in close alliance with it. Popular Bohemia revises dominant historical narratives about modernism from the perspective of a theoretically informed cultural history that spans the period between 1830 and 1914. In doing so, it reconnects the intellectual history of avant-garde art with the cultural history of bohemia and the social history of the urban experience to reveal the circumstances in which a truly modernist culture emerged.
