Fantasy and Fairy Tale in J.R.R. Tolkien´s Hobbit, Edith Nesbit´s Enchanted Castle and George MacDonald´s Tale The Princess and the Goblin
 PELÁNOVÁ, Lucie
The thesis focuses on the comparative analysis of Tolkien's novel The Hobbit, or There and Back Again (1937) and two works which significantly influenced him: George MacDonald's Princess and the Goblin (1872) and Edith Nesbit's Enchanted Castle (1907). The first part of the thesis chronologically describes the development of English children's fantasy literature. The above-mentioned authors are characterized from the perspective of their life and work. The second and the main part focuses on the comparison of the discussed works, especially on the comparison of fantastic elements such as fairy-tale characters, a journey to the unknown, a fight against evil, magical objects and magic space (the castle, the forest, the abandoned landscape). This interpretation is based on Tolkien's concept of fairy tales and fantasy and Propp's analysis of fairy tales.
