This thesis examines Josef Jungmann's translation of John Milton's Paradise Lost. Josef Jungmann was one of the leading figures of the Czech National Revival and translated Milton 's poem between the years 1800 and 1804. The thesis covers Jungmann's theoretical model of translation and presents Jungmann's motives for translation of Milton's epic poem. The paper also describes the aims Jungmann had with his translation and whether he has achieved them. The reception Jungmann's translation received after it was published and its significance for the Czech literature is also discussed. This thesis is based on existing works cited in the bibliography and aspires to extend them. Primarily, this thesis focuses on detailed translation analysis of how Jungmann's translation compares prosodically, lexically and stylistically to the original. The main focus of the lexical analysis are neologisms that John Milton introduced in Paradise Lost and aims to find how Jungmann, who is widely considered as one of the foremost innovators of the Czech language, was able to translate them into Czech. There are two key points - lexical correctness and potential inspiration for his neologisms. Key words: Josef Jungmann, John Milton, Czech National Revival, neologisms
