Břetislav Hodek was a prominent Czech lexicographer, literary scholar, writer, and translator of English literature, particularly renowned for his expertise in William Shakespeare and his works. His significant contributions include translating sixteen of Shakespeare's plays, such as Hamlet and Othello. Hodek co-created the monumental three-volume work 'Alžbětinské divadlo' and the 'Velký anglicko-český slovník', the most comprehensive English-Czech dictionary in the Czech Republic. Despite his extensive work, Hodek did not receive formal recognition during his life and faced criticism, while being an active Catholic who opposed post-1948 developments in Czechoslovakia.
