Two Years of Catastrophe: The Great Plague and the Great Fire in 1665-1666ontribution to the History of English Metropolis in the Second Half of the 17th Century
 Hoďák, Václav ; Kovář, Martin (advisor) ; Soukup, Jaromír (referee)
The author in the bachelor focuses on a progression and other factors, which led to the outbreak of the Great Plague and the Great Fire between years 1665- 1666 in London. He attempts on the basis of narrative sources to analyze survival methods of particular social classes, critical measures and medical recommendations applied by Londoners in the time of the Great Plague and the reasons of a fast spreading of the Great Fire inside the city walls. The bachelor thesis is divided in three parts; the author focuses shortly on the political history starting with a succession of English throne by the Stuarts in 1603. The second part is at first dedicated on a progression and the reasons of spreading of plague epidemics in 1603, 1625 and 1636 in London and then on the analysis of the Great Plague from 1665. The last part discusses a spreading of the Great Fire especially in the internal parts city walls. The author does not forget to place both events into complicated contemporary context i.e. social and political process in England, respectively in London in the second half of "revolutionary" 17th century. The author primarily worked with narrative sources and English historical literature.
