Book Synopsis Josef Dobrovský and the Origins of the Igor' Tale by : Edward L. Keenan
Book excerpt: This controversial and groundbreaking book revisits the origins of one of the most beloved works of East Slavic literature, Slovo o polku Igoreve (The Igorʹ Tale). Keenan argues that the text is not an authentic 12th-century document but rather was created by the Bohemian scholar Josef Dobrovský in the late 18th century.
