Symbolism of the Vampire in English Romanticism
 Sůvová, Jaroslava ; Horová, Miroslava (advisor) ; Beran, Zdeněk (referee)
The character of the vampire was popularized especially by Bram Stoker's Dracula. However, Dracula was not the first vampire in British literature and his origins can be traced back to Romanticism. This bachelor thesis will look into the issue of symbolism of vampires in the selected works of English Romanticism from the end of the 18th century to the first decades of the 19th century. The main focus will be on the works of Samuel T. Coleridge, John Keats, Lord Byron and John William Polidori and their approach towards the characters of vampires. The aim of this thesis is to determine what is the function of these characters in the works, what exactly they symbolize, and whether they represent something deeper than "the other", "the abject" and "the damned".
