Milada Součková

Milada Součková (24 January 1899 – 1 February 1983) was a Czech writer, literary historian, and diplomat.

She is known mainly for introducing to Czech literature Modernist techniques employed by English-language writers such as Laurence Sterne, James Joyce, and Virginia Woolf.

In 1940 her husband committed suicide to avoid falling into the hands of the Gestapo, and Součková left Prague to live in the countryside.

"[3] In 2016, director Andrea Culková released H*art On, a documentary about the lives of Součková and her husband, Zdenek Rykr.

Her collected works in Czech were issued in 11 volumes, from 1995 to 1997 by ERM (První písmena and Amor a Psyché),[6] then from 1997 to 2010 by Prostor (all the rest).
