 Bohemia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In 1609, Bohemian king Rudolph II, who was titularly a Catholic, was coerced by Bohemian nobility to publish Maiestas Rudolphina, which confirmed the older Confessio Bohemica of 1575.
Also the formal independence of Bohemia further eroded when the Bohemian Diet approved the so-called Pragmatic Sanction (indivisibility of the Habsburg empire, also female succession approved) in 1720, and also during centralisation reforms in 1749, when the Royal Bohemian Chancellery was unified with the Austrian Chancellery.
Instead, it is divided into Prague, the Central Bohemian Region, the Pilsen Region, the Carlsbad Region, the Usti nad Labem Region, the Liberec Region, the Hradec Kralove Region, and parts of the Pardubice, Vysocina and South Bohemian regions.

Though a Bohemian is a native of Bohemia, now a Czech province, a secondary meaning for 'Bohemian' emerged in 19th century France.
Literary 'bohemians' were associated in the French imagination with roving gypsies, outsiders apart from conventional society and untroubled by its disapproval, perhaps also a connotation of being the bearers of arcane enlightenment (the opposite of 'Philistines') and perhaps silently accused too of being careless of personal hygiene.
Conventional Americans often associate 'bohemians' with drugs and self-induced poverty, but, overall, many of the most talented European and American literary figures of the last century and a half have had a bohemian cast, so that a List of bohemians would be tediously long.

complex and frustrating: complex because the adjective 'bohemian' has been stretched to cover so many different and sometimes opposed ways of life and such a remarkable assortment of groups, communities and individuals; frustrating because definitions of the bohemian have been so contradictory, yet each is tenaciously defended.
In fact, the recurring questions-'but who were the bohemians?,' 'who were the real bohemians?'-amount to a repetition compulsion; the cultural equivalent of a neurotic symptom, they hint at another and different problem.
Wilson explores the bohemians' eccentric use of dress, the role of sex and erotic love, the bohemian search for excess, and the intransigent politics of many.

 The Book Industry's Best-Seller Lists - What are they, and why do they matter so much? By Eliza Truitt
There are the major national lists (the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, USA Today, and Publishers Weekly) and the major regional lists (the Washington Post, the San Francisco Chronicle, the Los Angeles Times, the Boston Globe, and the Chicago Tribune).
Some list makers rely on statistical sampling and extrapolation to provide an estimation of what is selling at the stores that do not report; some don't.
This list was a concession to independent bookstores, many of which were outraged when the Times created hot links between every single book on its Internet best-seller list and Barnes and Noble's online bookstore, which then gave a 30 percent discount to all the listed books.

 What the Bohemians Ate
The Bohemians ate well when they had money and poorly when they did not; they ate in jocular company at cafes and in the "comfort" of their own attic lodgings.
The most famous café frequented by Bohemians was the Café Momus from Scenes de la Vie de Boheme; it was later mentioned in the opera La Boheme as well.
On another evening, however, the Bohemians are left with only thirty sous with which to feed themselves dinner; they eat "three dishes most symmetrically arranged - a dish of herring, a dish of potatoes, and a dish of cheese" (271).
