Abstract
Readings on Karel Teige seeks to present the first two decades - i.e. the years 1919-1938 - of the effective reception of Karel Teige's programmatic and theoretical writings as well as of the positions he took regarding cultural policy in all its multilayered and often contradictory character. Most of the authors of the polemical and critical essayes, reviews and informative notices on Teige's work were writers and literary critics.
The time-period stipulated for selection in this book spans the free ans polyphonic cultural space of the 1920s and the 1930, and thus the time when Teige was unhindered in his responses and polemicla reactions. The pieces included in the volume are accompanied by brief profiles of the authors, with references to any further links to Teige.
