Palgrave Studies in Cultural and Intellectual History: Karel Čapek and his Generation, 1911-1938

Ort, T.

In most contemporary historical writing the picture of modern life in Habsburg Central Europe is a gloomy story of the failure of rationalism and the rise of protofascist movements. This book tells a different story, focusing on the Czech writers and artists distinguished by their optimistic view of the world in the years before WWI.
