Publications of the Czechoslovak Society of Arts andSciences (SVU):

Formative Years and Bibliography

Miloslav Rechcigl, Jr.

Ever since its inception, the Czechoslovak Society of Artsand Science in America, as it was initially called,considered publishing an important part of its program. Someconsidered it its “Imperative.” Inasmuch as I had somethingto do with organizing the SVU publication program in theearly years, and being probably the last person who knowsanything about that period, I have thought it timely andappropriate to put down some of my recollections of thoseformative years before our institutional memory completelyfades away. The present survey covers the period from thetime the Society was founded until about 1968. Thebibliography which follows is a comprehensive listing of allSVU titles until to date (2006).

Formative Years

The first order of business of the newly formed Society in1958 was to establish a newsletter in order that theleadership could communicate with its members. This led toZprávy SVU (News of SVU) which commenced publishing inSeptember 1959. Ivan Herben, who was elected the Society’sPress Secretary became its first editor. He was no novice byany means, having come from a prominent journalist family,and who himself previously served as editor of Svobodné slovoin Czechoslovakia after the World War II. From the verybeginning, he made it clear that this would be just anewsletter rather than a magazine.1 In the first issue he

1

announced that he assumed the difficult task of keeping trackof the “creative work of exile” by keeping the SVU membersinformed of what has been written and what is in progress andmade an appeal to the membership to regularly keep sendinghim news items of their publication activities, as well aslectures, artistic work, etc. He customarily sent ourpostcards to individual members to remind them of this. Heremained in that function until June 1953,2 when he wasreassigned to Europe by Radio Free Europe, where he wasemployed. Under his stewardship the Zprávy SVU was truly aprofessional periodical.

The first independent publication projects which SVUundertook unfortunately have not been realized. As we read instatus report3 of the Society after the first year ofexistence, the Washington SVU Chapter came with the idea ofgathering documents on Czechoslovak history covering periodfrom 1914-1948, as well as documents relating to history ofCzechoslovak immigrants in the US, with emphasis to theircultural and economic contributions. The Chicago Chapter, inturn, planned a publication about the Czechoslovak scienceand arts. The early program also included the idea ofpreparing a representative Who’s Who in Czechoslovak Scienceand Arts in the Free World. There were also plans a foot toestablish “Arts and Sciences Publishing Corporation,”patterned after the popular “Družstevní Práce” inCzechoslovakia, which would enable SVU members to publishtheir works in Czech, Slovak or world languages.4 In thisregard an appeal was also sent to all members to buy sharesin the company at the rate of $25 per share. Because of someunforeseen legal difficulties, the idea was soon scratchedand the money was returned to members who already bought suchshares. Another idea which floated around was to sponsor aliterary competition, which also did not materialize.

Except for a few small brochures and pamphlets, such as KarelB. Jirák’s Antonín Dvořák, 1841-1961 5 Alice G. Masaryková’s

Hudba ve Spillville 6 and Jaroslav Šejnoha’s Svĕdectví a skazky zumění výtvarného, the first SVU monographic publications wereissued in a mimeographic form, because the Society did nothave resources to publish printed books. This included ArnoštHeidrich’s International Political Causes of the Czechoslovak Tragedies of1938 and 1948. Part I , 7 F.C. Štěrba’s Češi a Slováci v Latinské Americe 8and V. N. Duben’s Czech and Slovak Periodicals outsideCzechoslovakia as of September 1964. 9

A distinct turn in the SVU publication program was the SVUGeneral Assembly’s decision to create a new post of Chairmanof Publication Committee to which I had the pleasure of beingelected. Even before the election, I took on theresponsibility for editing and publishing the Abstracts ofpapers presented at the first SVU Congress held in Washingtonin April 1962.10

As the first step I established a Publication Committee,composed of Prof. Peter Demetz, Dr. Jaroslav Nĕmec andmyself, who served as the Committee’s Chairman. It did nottake long before we had a concrete publication program planready and it was favorably received.11 Our plan was laterexpanded and presented in my comprehensive Report, presentedto the General Assembly on the Second SVU Congress in 1964.12

Our plan started with the Proceedings of the first SVUCongress. I took this responsibility upon myself which wasquite logical since I also organized the entire Congressprogram. From the very first day I began organizing theCongress program I was determined to have at last theselected papers published in a book form. I realized, ofcourse, that the Society could not afford to publish it onits own because it lacked the necessary finances. I began

corresponding with various US and European publishers to seewhether I could get them interested in the project. I wasconvinced that a combination of interesting topics, highquality of papers and outstanding authors would sell our“product” without difficulty. My hunch was right and in arelatively short time I negotiated an agreement with Moutonand Co. in The Hague, Netherlands, the leading Europeanpublishing house of Slavic books, with the understanding thatthey would publish the book entirely at the publisher’s

expense. I also took on the responsibility for getting thepapers ready for publication and for editing. With myscientific background I introduced the practice idea of peerreviewing every paper under consideration, using at least twodifferent reviewers for a given paper, which assured that ourpublication would be of high quality. Although it took anenormous effort, the book was published in 1964, as planned,under the title The Czechoslovak Contribution to World Culture.13 Thebook was a great success from the start, as was reflected ina number of favorable book reviews that appeared in variousacademic journals. Without doubt, this publication put SVU onthe world map.

The second publication on our list was a collection of Prof.René Wellek’s Essays on Czech Literature, on the occasion of hissixtieth birthday. I again succeeded in negotiating a similaragreement with the same publisher. The book was published,again without any cost to SVU, in 1963, under the Prof.Demetz’ editorship and with his introduction. 14

The third monograph on our agenda was Václav Hlavatý’sFestschrift to be published on the occasion of his seventiethbirthday. I again took it upon myself to find an outsidepublisher. After some correspondence back and forth withseveral publishing houses, we were able to get an agreementfrom the Indiana University Press to have them publish it attheir expense. The Festschrift was published in 1966 underthe title Perspectives in Geometry and Relativity. 15

Moreover, we were contemplating issuing another Festschrifton the occasion of the seventy fifth birthday of Prof.Francis Dvorník, in the form of an international collectionof papers in Byzantine and Slavic studies. We already had aneditorial board, composed of Prof. Otakar Odložilík, Prof.Roman Jakobson, Prof. Dmitrij Obolensky and Prof. GeorgeSoulis ready in place and the Dutch publisher Mouton and Co.agreed to publish it. Unfortunately, we depended too much on

5

Prof. Odložilík’s initiative who could not get the projectoff the ground.

Another major project which was carried out while I was theChairman of the Publications Committee were the Proceedingsof our 2nd SVU Congress. This was an enormous undertakingresulting in a two-volume set of almost 2000 pages, publishedunder the title Czechoslovakia Past and Present, under myeditorship. 16 The volumes were again well received asdepicted in favorable reviews.

When I saw the futility in trying to prepare the planned“Who’s Who Czechs and Slovaks Abroad,”17 I came up with theidea of publishing a Directory of SVU Members instead whichseemed to me a more feasible undertaking. The idea wasaccepted without opposition, particularly when I volunteeredmy wife Eva and myself to undertake the job. On the basis ofthe questionnaire which we sent to SVU members, we preparedthe individual entries. The entries included the member’sname, position, affiliation and place of employment,business phone, private address with telephone, , place anddate of birth, academic degrees with the name of institutionand year when they were awarded, areas of specialization andinterest, and major publications or art work. We alsoappended a geographical and subject index. The Directory wascompleted and published in time for the Third SVU Congress in1966.18 It soon became the SVU bestseller, as did the otherseven editions that followed, the 8th edition having beenpublished in 2003.19 The 9th revised edition has beenpublished electronically on CD.

To our regret, Jaroslav G. Polach, who was given theresponsibility for preparing for publication the series oflectures, presented on the program of the Washington DCChapter, concerning “The Idea of Developing the CzechoslovakState 1938-1948," failed in meeting his obligation. This wasmost unfortunate since this was probably the oldest

6

publication project SVU undertook and was on its programagenda from the very beginning. In retrospect, I am glad thatwe at least succeeded in having Dr. Polach deposit thereferenced lectures in SVU archives.

While I was in charge of SVU publication program, we alsopublished several books of fiction, including EgonHostovský’s new novel Tři noci,20 Vladimír Vaněk’s collection ofstories, Kniha povídek 21 and Otakar Machotka’s stories Povídkyexulantovy 22 and sponsored poetry collections of Pavel Javor,23 Miloslav Zlámal, 24and that of Josef Martínek.25 Inaddition, we also sponsored Antonín Kratochvíl’s study Diekommunistische Hochschulpolitik in der Tschechoslowakei 26 and amemorial volume of reminiscences of Masaryk Republic, editedby Ivan Herben and František Třesňák.27 In connection with thelatter, it should be noted that SVU also planned tocommemorate the 50th anniversary of the Czechoslovak Republicby publishing a scholarly volume “Czechoslovakia 1918-1968."Mouton & Co. was ready to publish it at no cost to theSociety but the appointed editor Prof. Henry Kučera wasunable to carry out the task.

Our Committee had even more ambitious plans, such aspublishing an authoritative historical treatise onCzechoslovakia, for which purpose we advocated theestablishment of a special Commission, composed of historiansof note. Other recommendations included the preparation of aninventory of doctoral dissertations relating toCzechoslovakia, periodic publishing of a bibliography ofwritings of Czech scholars and scientists, as well as abibliography on Czechoslovakia, inventory of existingunpublished manuscripts which could be the basis for possiblepublishing by SVU. The Executive Board sent out an appeal tomembers to volunteer on the proposed projects.

In January 1964, SVU launched a new quarterly periodical withthe aim of “preserving and fostering free Czechoslovak

7

culture,”28 under the editorship of Ladislav Radimský, knownunder his pen name Petr Den. With the characteristic titleProměny - Premeny (Metamorphoses), “the periodical was “toattempt spiritualize a man in his surrounding and ever-changing world, in the context of the everlasting values ofour national tradition.” It planned to publish examples oforiginal and translated poetry, short stories, essays,studies and articles. It was an outstanding journal whichattracted new aspiring authors from all over the world andalso frequently brought in forbidden Samozdat publicationsfrom the Communist Czechoslovakia. It ceased publicationafter the Velvet Revolution in 1994 because the SVUleadership felt that it was not needed anymore.

With reference to English periodical, as I stated in our 1962Publication Committee’s Report,29 “we were contemplating theissuance of a scholarly journal in English language,”pointing out that the Czechs and Slovaks abroad were the onlyethnic group lacking such a periodical. With its focus onCzechoslovak topics we felt it would enhance the image ofCzechoslovakia which had been greatly tarnished by theCommunist regime. The periodical would also have an addedbenefit by fostering greater interest in the Czechoslovakarea studies and thus enhancing scholarship relating to thecountry’s history, literature, the arts, economics, etc. Ourrecommendation unfortunately fell on deaf ears because thethen SVU Executive Board was reluctant to take on such aventure. It should also be noted that in those early daysthere was a group of well-meaning members, who thought ofthemselves as “patriots,” who considered publishing in otherlanguages, other than Czech or Slovak, a “national betrayal.”They generally disliked our emphasis on English titles, inwhich effort I received a full support from people like RenéWellek, Jan Mládek and Jaroslav Nĕmec.

The idea was tabled for a number of years, until the time ofmy Presidency in 1974-78. After soliciting opinion from the

8

leading Czechoslovak scholars around the world, includingsuch personalities as Prof. René Wellek, Prof. RomanJakobson, Prof. G. H. N. Seton-Watson, Prof. William E.Harkins, Prof. H. Gordon Skilling, Prof. George Gibian, Prof.Heinrich Kunstmann and others, I persuaded our ExecutiveBoard on the need to publish an English periodical devoted toCzechoslovakia and its culture and appointed a committee towork out the details.30 As my term as SVU President wasnearing to an end, there was not enough time to get theperiodical off the ground. With the ensuing Presidency of JanF. Tříska, the newly elected Executive Board favored the ideaof publishing the English periodical in principle but failedto find sufficient external financial resources for the neweffort.31 It was not until Leopold Pospíšil’s Presidency(1980-82) that the idea materialized. In the fall of 1981 theSVU Council voted the necessary funds and in 1982 the firstissue came out. The new periodical bore the name Kosmas, withthe subtitle The Journal of Czechoslovak and Central European Studies.As for the title, as was explained in preface, “although theperiodical’s broad coverage might warrant calling it“Cosmos,” the title of Kosmas was chosen to honor thescholar and monk of that name who practiced many arts andsciences and wrote the memorable Chronica Bohemorum which hassurvived nearly one millennium as an eloquent treatise onearly medieval Bohemia. No lesser authority than FrantišekPalacký, the ‘Father of the Nation’ and eminent leader of theCzech national revival, bestowed on Kosmas the epithet” ‘TheVirtual Herodotus of this Country.’”32 . Prof. John F. N.Bradley of the University of Manchester, who was, at myrecommendation, appointed the first editor, deserves largecredit for getting the journal off the ground.

As I come to the conclusion, I would be remiss if I would notmention the SVU Bulletin, which I also instigated, and whichSVU started publishing in 1980, under Zdenka Fischmann’seditorship, during Jan F. Tříska’s Presidency. Since hisExecutive Board could not realize publishing an English

9

journal, I persuaded them to at least go ahead with anEnglish-language newsletter, arguing that the Society had anincreased number of members who did not know the Czech orSlovak languages and for whom the Czech or Slovak-languageZprávy SVU was irrelevant. This newsletter was publishedseparately for some fifteen years. In 1995, for financialreasons, it was combined with the Zprávy SVU, part of whichwas then written in Czech or Slovak, and part was written inEnglish. With the September issue in the year 2000, Zprávy SVUbegan publishing in the English language only since by then amajority of the membership was versed in that language.

By now SVU has reached almost fifty years of its existenceduring which time the Society has matured and reached tohigher horizons and dimensions of excellence that even itsfounders did not anticipate. This is also reflected in itspresent highly versatile publication program, as shown in theBibliography below.
