Slavic Department Head David Cooper appeared on The Slavic Connexion podcast to discuss his recent book, The Czech Manuscripts: Forgery, Translation, and National Myth (Cornell, 2023). In a half-hour long program, Cooper and podcast host Cullan Bendig discuss a series of medieval-style Czech language forgeries "discovered" in the nineteenth century and the role that such manuscripts played in the cultivation and modernization of the Czech national myth and cultural revival.
