Velmi utěšená a kratochvílná historie o krásné panně Mageloně, dceři krále z Neapolis, a o jednom rytíři jménem Petrovi, znamenitého hraběte z Provincí synu (The Delightful and Entertaining Story of the Beautiful Young Maiden Maguelone, Daughter of the King of Naples, and of a certain Knight called Peter, the Son of the Distinguished Count of Provence) printed anonymously in Olomouc in 1780, is one of those works into which literary science has hitherto scarcely ever inquired. It is nevertheless a text with a very long and complex genesis. We can follow its development from a medieval French tale of love, via a German adaptation to an early modern Czech popular prose romance. In the story of Maguelone, close attention is paid, as the very title suggests, to the main heroine, which is also a theme which in research into older Czech literature has been hitherto rather neglected. In the present thesis, we focus therefore on the analysis of this character. In particular, we try to show how the way she is portrayed is significantly influenced by the medieval conception of courtly literature, despite the fact that courtly epic literature is not otherwise particularly well documented in literature written in Czech and left no particularly rich tradition behind it. Key words: courtly love, courtly literature,...

The novels of disillusion and maturing
Kotšmídová, Alena ; Mravcová, Marie (advisor) ; Heczková, Libuše (referee)
This bachelor degree thesis deals with various forms of disillusion and maturing in novels "Santa Lucia", "Ivův román" and "Stříbrný vítr". All three books are considered to be novels of disillusion and maturation. On example of main characters, the thesis shows the impulses leading to constitution of illusion, the reason for disillusion formation, the course of disillusion formation and the results of disillusion itself. Although all three novels could be classified as novels of disillusion and maturation, they differ from traditional form of storyline. There is also a dissimilarity among their main characters and composition. Apart from interpretations of disillusion of the characters, the thesis also contains comparative chapters, in which the parallels and differences between characters are drawn. At the same time, comparation enables us to point out the change in thinking, which has taken place between the end of nineteenth and the beginning of twentieth century. This change is noticeable in different way of solving similar problems and it determines the difference between two generations of the Czech moderna. key words: the novel of disillusion, illusion, disillusion, emotions, imagination
