The year 2012 marks an important milestone for English studies at Charles University in Prague - the centenary of their existence. It was in the academic year 1912/1913 that the first specialised department of English philology was established in Prague, with Vilém Mathesius its first Professor. It is impossible to celebrate a hundredth anniversary with a single act, as it is impossible to separate the results of scholarly work from the lives of the scholars, their students and the institution. Consequently, a series of commemorative events were organized including an anniversary colloquium, an A Centenary of English Studies at Charles University - Markéta Malá, Pavlína Šaldová od authora Markéta Malá, Pavlína Šaldová a nakladatelství za skvělé ceny na e-shopu Martinus. cz.
