Jungmann [Czech]

By Emanuel Chalupny

This biography, originally published in Czech, explores the life and work of Josef Jungmann, a pivotal figure in the Czech National Revival. A linguist, poet, writer, and translator, Jungmann (1773-1847) is celebrated for his instrumental role in reviving and codifying the Czech language, contributing significantly to the development of modern Czech literature and national identity.

The book delves into Jungmann's scholarly pursuits, his dedication to lexicography-most notably his monumental Czech-German dictionary-and his influence on subsequent generations of Czech intellectuals and artists. It offers insights into the cultural and political context of Bohemia in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, highlighting Jungmann's enduring legacy as a champion of Czech language and culture.
