Dear Jola,
there are only few titles concerning St. Agnes of Bohemia (Czech titles without diacritic):
Walter Warren Seton, Some new sources for the life of Blessed Agnes of Bohemia, London, 1915;
Jan Kapistran Vyskocil, Blahoslavena Anezka Ceska. Kulturni obraz svetce XIII. stoleti, Praha, 1934;
Jan Kapistran Vyskocil, Legenda blahoslavene Anezky a ctyri listy sv. Klary, Praha, 1934;
Mira Mladejovska, Legenda o blahoslavene Anezce. Chebske zlomky, Praha, 1948;
Jaroslav V. Polc, Svetice Anezka Premyslovna, Praha, 1989 (2nd ed.);
Jaroslav V. Polc, Agnes von Boehmen. 1211-1282. Koenigstochter - Aebtissin - Heilige, Muenchen, 1989.
You can consult some collections on the Saints and their Cults in Czech Lands:
Jaroslav Kadlec, ed., Bohemia sancta. Zivotopisy ceskych svetcu a pratel Bozich, Praha, 1989;
Petr Pitha, Cechy a jejich svati, Praha, 1992 (my recension in: Religio, 2, 1994, 112-114);
Milan M. Buben - Rudolf Kucera - Otakar A. Kukla, Svati spojuji narody. Portrety evropskych svetcu, Praha, 1994 (my recension in: Religio, 3, 1995, 198-199).
It is important that emperor Charles IV. tried to make from St. Elisabeth of Thuringia a patron of Land of Bohemia:
Helga Susanne Schmidtberger, Die Verehrung der heiligen Elisabeth in Boehmen und Maehren bis zum Ende des Mittelalters, Marburg, 1992 (my recension in: Miscellanea oddeleni rukopisu a starych tisku, 9, 1992, 197-199);
Anezka Vidmanova, K autorstvi zivota sv. Elisky ve Zlate legende, in: Acta Universitatis Carolinae - Historia Universitatis Carolinae Pragensis, t. 31, n. 1, 1992, 23-34;

There are some connections between the Life of St. Agnes and that of St. Wenceslas:
my book: Literarni prameny svatovaclavskeho kultu a ucty ve vrcholnem a pozdnim stredoveku, Praha, 1996;
Cf. Legenda sancti Wenceslai incipiens verbis "Oriente iam sole". Recensio secunda, my edition in: http://digit.nkp.cz:1111/sgi-bin/c1250bat/mnscr/i_c.25/ .
