'Landing on the Barren Shores of the Bohemian Lands': The Religious Character of the Bohemian Lands as Perceived by English Travellers in the 17th Century.
The article shows the Bohemian lands in the 17th century as mediated by travelogues of English provenance, in particular travel diaries written both for personal use only and to be later published. Attention is mainly focused on the religious situation in Bohemia and Moravia and its transformation in the studied period in the context of the denomination of the English visitors. The paper further briefly describes individual travellers from England, who would come to the European continent for various reasons and would also visit the
Kingdom of Bohemia as part of this trip.
