The name Ladislav Novák (as an example of dadaists) does not link to the author (1925-1999) but to the football player (born 1931), you might want to change that. Article not bad at all.

Quite a lot more could be said on this topic; anyone with the knowledge to flesh it out? -- April

I'll add some stuff from the Dutch wikipedia. Sander Spek 12:17, 21 Apr 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Bloody unwieldy article name

There is the article English literature, not Literature of United Kingdom; American literature, not Literature of the United States. Unless somebody gives a very good reason why Czech literature should be the only exception from Literature#Literature_by_country_or_language, I'm going to move this within a week. --Malyctenar 10:47, 16 Jul 2004 (UTC)

P. S. Oh, and what the hell are we supposed to do with Bohemian literature?

Comment moved from the article: Please note that the current coverage of Czech literature in Wikipedia is rather sketchy, idiosyncratic and unrepresentative, mixing a few authors best known abroad with those popular with a particular Czech Wikipedist, but not necessarily of paramount importance for the field as a whole. Raising it to a decent academic standard is almost impossible; for reliable information, turn elsewhere - see some products of googling among external links, but even better to offline reference works. At least, the list has been ordered chronologically (by era the centre of given author's work falls into) and expanded by several most unmissable names, entries/stubs for which will be hopefullly added later as time and sources allow.

There is not a single woman writer mentioned in the list of communist-era writers, or on the list of contemporary writers. Shameful! There are plenty of them. I'll try to post a few bios I've written of contemporary Czech women writers. Andree Collier Zaleska 24.63.76.103 15:23, 8 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Article revision

I'll be working on a complete revision of this page over the next several months, starting with the earliest literature all the way up to the modern day. I plan on doing sections at a time, so the page will look a little disorganized for a while. Comments on my work will be welcome and appreciated!
