	H-Net Review: Hugh Agnew on The Coasts of Bohemia: A Czech History
		Sayer's work has the subtitle, "A Czech History" and it is important to note that both the article and the adjective are relevant here.
		It is not even a survey of the history of Czech culture, but rather an extended, often digressive discussion of aspects of identity, the construction of "Czechness," and its consequences for the people so identified.
		While Sayer is certainly conscious of the mythological aspects of Czech identity, his sympathy for and identification with his subject is palpable, to the extent of his adopting certain attitudes and even the language of the Czech national discourse itself.
