Excerpt from Slavic Europe: A Selected Bibliography in the Western European Languages, Comprising History, Languages and Literatures
The Great War has often demonstrated how little the Western World really knows about Slavic Europe. The causes of this profound ignorance or indifference are not difficult to find. A glance at the historical evolution of Europe will help to explain why Western Europe, though always strongly often decisively in¿uenced by events in Eastern Europe, showed little interest in that part of the world.
It will be remembered that European civilization shifted with the discovery of the Americas from the Mediterranean to the Atlantic basin. Slavic Europe thereby became less accessible to the new West and its creative ideas - it is, in fact, farther te moved geographically from the Atlantic Ocean than from the Mediterranean Sea.
