Geschichte von Böhmen 5 Volume Set in 10 Paperback Parts: Grösstentheils nach urkunden und handschriften (Cambridge Library Collection - European History) (German Edition)

Product Description A highly influential Czech historian and politician, František Palacký (1798–1876) became in 1825 the first editor of the journal of the Bohemian Museum, a key cultural institution in the development of Czech nationalism. He was actively involved in the nineteenth-century Czech national revival, helping also to found the Czech national theatre. Entering politics in 1848, he served as president of the Prague Slavic Congress, and later became a member of the Austrian senate as a supporter of greater Czech autonomy. In this extensive work, comprising ten separate parts – published in German between 1836 and 1867 – Palacký gives a detailed account of Bohemian history until 1526. It remains an important and ambitious feat of scholarship, still relevant to students of central European history. Book Description The Czech historian František Palacký gives a detailed account of Bohemian history, published in German in ten parts (1836–67).
