Postmodern Space in Contemporary British Fiction (Graham Swift)
 MYKYTYN, Kristýna
The thesis aims to reflect on space in selected novels by contemporary British writer Graham Swift. The theoretical part of the thesis will first outline the social, political and literary situation of the 20th century and introduce the literary tools used in modern, postmodern and Contemporary British literature. Furthermore, the thesis deals with the change in the perception of space, the theory of postmodern chronotope, and besides Graham Swift, other most important writers of Contemporary British literature are introduced. The core of the thesis is a literary analysis of the space and landscape of the novels Waterland (1983) and Out of This World (1988). The aim is to compare the usage of postmodern elements and analyse the influence of history and landscape on the fate of the heroes of selected novels.

The Reflection of the Cold War in British Fiction
 MYKYTYN, Kristýna
The thesis aims to reflect on the Cold War from the point of view of the United Kingdom and the United states of America, paying attention to events that led to the creation of the two analysed novels by contemporary British authors (Ian McEwan, Ken Follett). The sociocultural and political settings at the beginning of the Cold War are outlined as well as the time frame in which the novels take place, and the events depicted in both novels are examined objectively. The thesis presents the results of the interpretation and analysis of Ian McEwan's The Innocent (1990) and Ken Follett's Code to Zero (2000) with a focus on comparing objective historical observations with the novel storylines in the context of British espionage novels revolving around the Space Race in the USA and British operations in Berlin at the start of the Cold War.
