Abstract
The contribution Cultural Life of Czechoslovak Exiles in London Exemplified by Cultural Journalism briefly discuss the character of a Czechoslovak exile in London during the Second World War. A considerable amount of literature has been published on the Czechoslovak government-in-exile and its politics.
In contrast just a few studies have attempted to describe a cultural life of Czechoslovak exiles in London. Those who have studied the subject have revealed that some (theatrical and poetical) artwork created during the war years in London exile form an important part of a Czechoslovak cultural history.
According to the author of this contribution, the cultural publicism presents integral part of a rich cultural life of Czechoslovak exiles in London. After 1941, the cultural publicism could be found on the pages of newly emergent cultural magazines (cyclostyled monthly Kulturní zápisník [Cultural Notebook] followed by magazine Review made by the very same authors and "official" literary magazine Obzor [Horizon]).
Discourse regarding original exile artwork and a cultural life of the Czechoslovak exile helped to shape the cultural identity of politically and ethnically fragmented exile. Moreover, publishing of the reports on Czechoslovak culture helped to promote it abroad.
