"Böhmen und Deutsche! Ihr müsset ein Volk ausmachen"
"Bohêmes et Allemands ! Vous devez ne faire qu'un peuple"
Résumé
In 1810, Prague priest and philosopher Bernard Bolzano appealed to a united patriotism in bilingual Bohemia, and thus defined the programme of so-called “Bohemism”. This anti-nationalist line went through the whole Czech national movement until 1848, with developments that were too often neglected by national historiography: As an answer to increasing nationalism, Bohemism evolved in the 1840s towards the assertion of a dualistic identity, known as linguistic “Utraquism”.
