OSERS Ewald and J.K. MONTGOMERY. Modern Czech Poetry.

(London): George Allen & Unwin for Prague Press, 1945. First edition. Hardcover. 18.5cm by 12.3cm. 72 pages. A seminal English-language anthology of 20th-century Czech verse, this volume gathers representative works from key modern Czech poets, including Jaroslav Seifert, Josef Hora, S. K. Neumann, Frantisek Halas, Vitezslav Nezval, Karel Toman, Frana Sramek, Viktor Dyk, Petr Bezruc, Jiri Wolker and others. The anthology was one of the earliest post-war bridges introducing Czech poetic innovation to an anglophone readership. A very good copy in dustwrapper.
