Extract

In the period of independence historians of the critical school had held dominant positions in Czechoslovak universities and institutions. They inherited from their beloved teacher, Jaroslav Goll, the subtle art of criticism of historical texts as well as a predilection for detailed studies. In their early careers they devoted most of their time to the elucidation of controversial points and substituted reliable solutions for romantic conceptions of the older generation. The iconoclastic campaign which had been inaugurated by T. G. Masaryk, Jaroslav Goll and the philologist Jan Gebauer in the ’eighties of the nineteenth century, was coming to its end shortly before the outbreak of the first World War. Concentration on large works became characteristic of Czechoslovak historiography after 1918.
