"A History of Bohemian Literature" by hrabe Francis Lützow is a historical account published in the early 20th century. The work serves as an exploration of Bohemian literature, detailing its evolution and significance in the context of Bohemia's historical and cultural narrative. It provides insights into how literature has influenced national identity and political movements within the Austro-Hungarian Empire, particularly focusing on the revival of Bohemian literature in the 19th century. The
beginning of the book introduces the concept of Bohemian literature and its unique challenges, particularly regarding the authenticity of its early texts, such as the controversial Manuscript of Königinhof.
