Abstract

This second and updated version of an already published scholarly chapter traces the response to James's work by scholars and readers in Bohemia, in Moravia, and in Slovakia, including the presence of such James scholars as F.O. Matthiesen who taught at the Charles English division in 1947, the Charles Ph.D.

René Wellek who later lived in Britain and settled permanently in the United States, and to a very minor extent the present scholar's own experiences teaching, lecturing, and publishing two articles on James in Prague. The text received special recognition from the series editor, Dr.

Elinor Schaffer, Fellow of the British Academy.
