Seizing the past in the Novels of Julian Barnes with Regard to the Author's Narrative Techniques
 ČEŠKOVÁ, Karolína
The thesis examines the concept of the past in selected works by Julian Barnes, regarding the narrative techniques chosen by the author. It focuses on central thematic strands: fictionalizing of history and the bidirectional nature of past and present. The outlined thematic strands represent the author's approach to treating the theme of the past in his novels. Besides the common theme of the search for historical truth that Barnes' works share, the aim of this thesis is to examine the depiction of the past in relation to the themes of memory, truth, and how these factors shape the formation of individual and collective identities. The thesis considers not only narrative but also thematic inspiration provided to Barnes' contemporary writing by postmodern tendencies, particularly the scepticism towards historical truth and the subjectivism with which he views history.
