Kurent And Man

Albert Henry Wratislaw (1822–1892) was an English Slavonic scholar, of Czech descent. The grandson of an émigré of 1790, and son of William Ferdinand, 'Count' Wratislaw von Mitro-vitz (1788–1853), a solicitor of Rugby, by his wife, Charlotte Anne (d. 1863), was born at Rugby. He published several texts and school books, but found it difficult to keep up his Bohemian studies, though he issued in 1852 The Queen's Court Manuscript, with other ancient Bohemian Poems, translated from the original Slavonic into English verse, mostly in ballad metre. During his life, he wrote many works that remain popular today.

This book tells the story of how Kurent and Man argued for the right to dispose of the land. This work attempts to compile many of the classic works that have stood the test of time.
