Chapter 31 Notes for the Translator of "A Survey of Modern Czech Literature" [1]

Notes for the Translator of "A Survey of Modern Czech Literature" [1] The Czechs are the oldest people among the Slavic peoples[2], and they also have the richest literature.But in the 1920s [3], it was rare to see a book in Bohemia [4], and later J. Kollar [5] and the literati who succeeded him gave literature new life. By the end of the last century, they had more than 3,000 literati! In this rich Czech literary world, the three most prominent stars are: Naluda (1834-91), Czech Republic (1846-), and Vrkhrejic (1853-1912).The current translation of part of the 112th and 19th sections of the second volume of Josef Karasek's "History of Slavic Literature" shows the general situation at that time; as for the latest literature, it is not yet detailed.In addition, there are fellows and tribes of Fuerhelezhiqi such as Ad. CKerny, J. S． Machar, AntonSova〔7〕; and essayists such as K. Rais, K． Klostermann, Mrs Ktik brothers, M. SKimacKek, Alois Jirasek〔8〕, etc. are also famous, but unfortunately it is too late to go into details now.
