About František Palacký
František Palacký was a Czech historian and politician. He was the most influential person of the Czech National Revival, called "Father of the Nation". Public interest in the movement was stimulated in 1825 by the new Časopis Českého musea (Journal of the Bohemian Museum), of which Palacký was the first editor. The journal was at first published in Czech and German, and the Czech edition survived to become the most important literary organ of Bohemia.
