During the years between 1956 and 1970 Czech literature and theatre passed through a profoundly creative period, a renaissance or spiritual rebirth following an era of sterility that was the result of the forced imposition of the Stalinist dogma of socialist realism. This study is a first attempt, to define for us the character and originality of this era. This title was first published in 1978.
Paul I. Trensky was born in Czechoslovakia. He emigrated to the United States in 1958, and received his Ph.D. in Slavic Languages and Literatures at Harvard University in 1962. He taught at Boston University and the University of Illinois. At present he teaches Russian and comparative literatures at Fordham University.
