  Czech literature. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
Until c.1400, Czech literature consisted mainly of Latin chronicles (Cosmas of Prague, 1125) and of Czech hymns, tales of chivalry, and romances in verse.
ech, Jan Neruda, and Joseph V. Sládek and the novels of Alois Jirásek achieved fame, literature was oriented toward the intellectual and the bourgeois.
In the period from 1918 to 1938 Czech literature was the most cosmopolitan of the Slavonic literatures; at the same time native themes were cultivated.

 LEON TROTSKY Literature and Revolution Chapter 1 Pre-Revolutionary Art   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
Before even a tremor of revolutionary presentiment could pass through Russian literature at the end of the last century and the beginning of this, history had to produce the deepest changes in the basis of economics, in land tenure, in social relations, and in the feelings of the masses.
Literature after October, 1917, wished to pretend that nothing especial had happened and that this period in general did not concern it.
The gem of this literature of renunciation, of this literature of discarded thoughts and feelings, is the fat, well-meaning almanac "Streletz", where poems, articles and letters by Sologub, Rozanov, Belenson, Kuzmin, Hollerbakh and others, are printed and to the quantity of three hundred numbered copies.

 The Nobel Prize in Literature 1917
He chose a career in the clergy although he felt no special calling for it; rather his inclinations drew him strongly toward literature, and alongside his "bread and butter studies" he devoted himself to reading the Greek, English, and especially the German classics.
In the course of his theological studies, he came gradually to take a purely negative attitude toward theology and became attracted by the literary radicalism led by Georg Brandes.
He had, on the contrary, many more addresses with German classicism, with the literature of antiquity, and with the wealth of sentiments of Wagner, and when he realized this fact, he broke sharply and publicly with the school of Brandes in his travel book, Vandreaaret (1885) [Wander Year].

In this study, literature on earthquake swarms in 1917, 1920, 1933-35, 1943, 1944, 1953, 1959-60 are re-examined to reveal detailed development of the activity, seismic intensity and the epicentral region of these events.
Earthquake swarms at Hakone appear to have been rare before 1917, and except for 1786, no historical records exist even though one of the most important highways in Japanese history passed across the volcano.
An interpretation that attributes the earthquake swarms since 1917 to foreshocks and aftershocks of the 1930 Kita-Izu earthquake would broadly explain the frequency of earthquake swarms at Hakone volcano since the early twentieth century.
