Czech literature and culture: readings

[curt fredric woolhiser]

Dear SEELANGers,

I am teaching an interdisciplinary "Introduction to Russian, East 
European and Eurasian Studies" this semester, and have invited one of 
my colleagues (a specialist in Czech literature) to give a guest 
lecture on Czech literature and culture for the unit on East Central 
Europe. For a reading assignment connected with this lecture, I was 
hoping to find a good introductory essay in English on the history of 
Czech literature, preferably no more than 50 pages in length. Thus 
far, however, the only text of this type that my colleague has been 
able to find is a short 1968 article by Rene Wellek, "Czech 
Literature: East or West?" Can anyone out there recommend anything 
else along these lines, preferably something a little more recent?

Srdec^né díky!
