| Summary | "Bohemia: From the Earliest Times to the Fall of National Independence in 1620" by C. Edmund Maurice is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work explores the intricate history of Bohemia, detailing its evolution from early settlement through significant challenges to its national sovereignty. The book aims to shed light on the often-misunderstood national identity of the Bohemians and their struggles throughout history, particularly emphasizing the importance of language and cultural autonomy. The opening of this historical work sets the stage for a deep exploration of Bohemian identity and heritage. It introduces the concept that the struggle for national existence has been a recurrent theme in Bohemia's history, marked by conflicts with powerful neighbors and internal divisions. The author begins with reflections on historical events that shaped the Bohemian landscape, emphasizing the role of language and religion as central to the fight for independence. Additionally, early figures like Queen Libus̆a and the legendary Prince Pr̆emysl are mentioned as foundational elements of Bohemian history, highlighting the nation's rich, albeit troubled, past in its quest for self-determination and recognition.
