Biography
I was born in Hradec Králové (Czech Republic). I am a graduate of Palacký University, Olomouc (Czech Republic), where I completed a BA & MA in Czech Philology, and a BA & MA in English Philology; and of University College Dublin, where I was awarded a PhD in Anglo-Irish Literature (in 2011). My doctoral thesis was a comparative study of Literary Censorship in Ireland and Czechoslovakia.
