Effacing Panslavism: Linguistic Classification and Historiographic Misrepresentation<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the early nineteenth century, several Slavic intellectuals believed in a single Slavic nation speaking a single language, though positing various taxonomies of the nation\u2019s component \u201ctribes\u201d and the language\u2019s component \u201cdialects.\u201d Nevertheless, recent scholars, both historians and linguists, prove so extraordinarily unwilling to acknowledge the existence of Panslavism that several falsify the historical record so as to make historical figures conform to modern national and linguistic thinking. This paper discusses Jan Koll\u00e1r, Ljudevit Gaj, and \u013dudov\u00edt \u0160t\u00far as three sample Panslavs, documents the misrepresentation of their ideas in recent historiography, and explores why so many scholars seek to erase Panslavism from the historical record.<\/p>\n

Alexander Maxwell did his MA degree at CEU in Budapest, and a Ph.D. at the University of Wisconsin, Madison. He is the author of “Choosing Slovakia” and “Patriots Against Fashion.” His third monograph, “Everyday Hungary,” is now in press. He has published widely on nationalism in Eastern Europe, and on nationalism theory. His current project concerns Panslavism in the Habsburg Monarchy. He is senior lecturer in history at Victoria University in Wellington, New Zealand, where he also runs the Antipodean East European Study Group.<\/p>\n
