The legacy of Bedřich Smetana has become so enmeshed in state ideology under Czechoslovakia's
communist regime that little has been written about the composer since the fall of
that regime. This book reopens inquiry into Smetana by exploring the earliest scholarship
on the composer to reveal how it generated political myths about him and his works.
It also examines the ways in which these myths were adapted in twentieth-century scholarship
to suit the ideologies of the communist administration. Smetana - not just a nationalist
composer, but also a national symbol - remains a dynamic figure whose mythology has
been rewritten time and time again to suit shifting political perspectives
