This book contributes to various political debates about Central Europe in terms of its literary-symbolic geography. The author contends that the research about Central Europe must, first of all, be exempted from its mythicisation. The idealisation of a past of monarchical and tolerant coexistence represents a dangerous stereotype to be deconstructed, rather than resurrected. The monograph offers an up-to-date critical view of Central Europe that takes into account various historical, geopolitical, and, above all, cultural-spiritual standpoints.
Miloš Zelenka is Professor of Slavic Literatures at the Institute of Languages and Cultures of Central Europe at the Constantine the Philosopher University (Nitra, Slovakia). He specialises in literary history, with a focus on the literary comparative studies in the Central European context, and interliterary communities.
