Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book investigates the origins of the Czech people and their nationhood in the context of broader medieval European history. The author examines the region before the early Middle Ages and closely analyzes the legendary accounts of Czech history as recorded by Cosmas of Prague, a chronicler from the turn of the 12th century, whose writings have deeply shaped Czech national identity. The book questions the validity of Cosmas's account and argues that instead of chronicling actual historical events as has long been assumed, his writings actually offer a creative interpretation of Czech history and myth. The author examines the political and religious motivations that shaped Cosmas's account and reveals how his writings formed the basis for later Czech historical narratives. In doing so, the book provides a new perspective on the origins of Czech national identity.
