Václav Renč

Václav Renč (28 November 1911, Vodochody – 30 April 1973, Brno) was a Czech poet, dramatist and translator.

Like other Catholic ruralistic writers, his themes included God, traditions and the countryside.

He edited the journal Rozhledy po literatuře (i.e. "Views over literature") together with František Halas (between 1933 and 1936).

After the 1948 communist coup in Czechoslovakia he and other catholic writers were hated by the regime.

Aside his own work he has also translated from German, English, French, Italian and Polish.
