About the Lecture:
The poet Robert Pinsky once said that “deciding to remember and what to remember, is how we decide who we are.” Jan Hus was a Czech priest executed for heresy in 1415 during the Council of Constance. This lecture identifies the myths connected to Hus, it examines how Hus has been remembered and understood over the past 600 years (socially, religiously and politically), and suggests ways in which Hus might continue to be important in the twenty-first century.
