Essay on George Eliot Wins BCSA PrizeAn essay on a visit by George Eliot to Prague in 1858 has just won a prize of £300 in a writing competition run by the British Czech and Slovak Association. The author was Susan Reynolds of Oxford.The essay tells of how much George Eliot and her partner George Henry Lewes were taken with the beauty of the city's setting, its nobility and its sense of history, and of how she put much of her impressions into her story `The Lifted Veil' that came out the next year. It also describes the flowering of Czech literature, and contacts between British and Czech writers, at that epoch. Susan is no stranger to winning writing competitions. Earlier this year she won the prestigious Goethe Prize (for the second time) organised by the English Goethe Society. A graduate of Lady Margaret Hall at Oxford University, she works in the Slavonic Department of the Taylor Institution Library, and she also teaches European languages, literature and history on visiting students' programmes at St Edmund Hall and St Peter's and Mansfield Colleges. The BCSA aims to raise public awareness in Britain of Czech and Slovak life in all its aspects - history, politics, science, economies, arts and literature. The competition was for writing about the links between Britain and the lands now comprising the Czech and Slovak Republics, or about society in transition in these Republics since the Velvet Revolution in 1989. A panel of experts in Britain, Slovakia and the Czech Republic judged Susan's entry the winner against some quality opposition. Susan was presented with her prize at the Association's Annual Dinner at the Marlborough Hotel in London on Friday, 29 November. Our picture shows her receiving the cheque from the Association's President, Ladislav Hornan. The BCSA has decided to repeat the competition in 2003.
