Description

Prague with its legendary charms is, in fact, one of those cities that effectively pin down poetic thought, which is always more or less adrift in space. Andre Breton (1935)

Prague, the cosmopolitan centre of Europe, has for two decades been at the heart of a multicultural, linguistic experiment without recent parallel. This anthology offers a panoramic view of the various !scenes! that have defined its literary renaissance--from the widely-heralded "left bank of the nineties" to its post-millennial aftermath.

This ground-breaking anthology includes the work of over 90 writers and translators active in Prague during the two decades following the Velvet Revolution; generously illustrated with archival photos, portraits, film-stills and memorabilia; and complemented by a detailed bibliography of English-language literary journals, book publications, chapbook series, anthologies...

"'Three ringing cheers,' as the old song demands... This is a magnificent volume, a huge effort and obviously worth the effort." -Seamus Heaney

"This book positively brims. With words, with pictures, with experiments and experiences. At eight hundred pages plus, it is as a definitive testament... " -Ryan Scott, Cordite Poetry Review
