The Canterbury Tales as translated into Czech by František Vrba: a linguistic analysis
Slabyhoudová, Zuzana ; Čermák, Jan (advisor) ; Popelíková, Jiřina (referee)
The diploma thesis offers a philological analysis of František Vrba's translation into Czech of The Canterbury Tales by Geoffrey Chaucer. The paper is composed of three major parts: "Theoretical background", "Hypothesis and Method", and "Analysis". The analysis addresses matters of lexical, syntactic, stylistic, metrical and cultural nature. The analysis focuses on The Knight's Tale, The Miller's Tale, The Nun's Priest's Tale and The Wife of Bath's Tale as convenient manifestations of stylistic variation, cross-generic links and structural correspondences and contrasts in The Canterbury Tales. The aim of this thesis is to analyze and evaluate the quality of František Vrba's Czech translation.

Albee's Everything in the Garden in Czech Theatrical Context
Hrádková, Šárka ; Topolová, Barbara (advisor) ; Pšenička, Martin (referee)
Edward Albee is one of the most important American playwrights. He has successfully written his plays since the sixties of the twentieth century. Since then Albees'plays have been often staged in our country. His adaptation of Cooper's work - Everything in the Garden-is one of the most played Albee's title on Czech and Moravian stages (the same amount of production achieves drama Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf). Since 1969, when Everything in the Garden was translated by František Vrba and played in Divadlo S.K.Neumanna, this drama achieved twelve representations. Everything in the Garden was especially played in regional theaters. In 1997, the title was chosen by Městské divadlo Brno and in 2008 the latest production of this text was started in Městská divadla pražská, in Divadlo ABC, with a new translation by Dana Hábová. It is possible to see political and social development in our country in the transformation of individual production and critical response to them.
