Hlavatá, Barbora ; Starý, Jiří (advisor) ; Znojemská, Helena (referee)
This thesis focuses on the formal and stylistic analysis and comparison of two works written by English authors, namely William Morris' poem The Story of Sigurd the Volsung and the Fall of the Niblungs (1876) and J. R. R. Tolkien's poetic work The Legend of Sigurd and Gudrún (published posthumously in 2009) with respect to how each of these works deals with the original Old Norse motives which they are based on. Both Sigurd the Volsung and The Legend of Sigurd and Gudrún can be described as poetic adaptations of the Old Norse tale of Sigurd Fafnisbani, which is recounted in the Saga of the Volsungs and in a cycle of poems found in the Poetic Edda. Both Morris and Tolkien borrowed this story to use it in their own works, yet each of them treats it in a different manner. Therefore, not only do both of the works differ from the original Old Norse texts on multiple levels, but they also differ one from another. The differences between them can be traced in the metrical properties of the individual poems, for instance, or in the use of specific stylistic elements. From this, it can be inferred that although it was the goal of both authors to evoke the atmosphere of the legendary heroic past where Sigurd's story takes place, each of them attempts to do so in a different way. This is probably caused by...

Specific manifestations of pre-Romanticism in the works of Johannes Ewald (Levnet og meninger) and Laurence Sterne (The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman)
Hlavatá, Barbora ; Březinová, Helena (advisor) ; Hartlová, Dagmar (referee)
This thesis focuses on the analysis of Johannes Ewald's autobiographic novel Levnet og Meeninger (Life and Opinions, 1774-78) regarding the question of to what extent this book is a pre-Romantic work of fiction. Numerous elements typical of pre-Romanticism can be found in the novel, such as the scrutiny of inner feelings, an emphasis on the expression of emotions, the individualization of both the narrator and the artist, or a new perception of the role of nature in art. All of this makes Levnet og Meeninger an original work; its author can thus be considered the first Danish pre-Romantic author. His novel is also often compared with the work of one of the authors representing pre-Romanticism in British literature, Laurence Sterne's The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman (1759-1767); this thesis will attempt to describe possible similarities between the two works in more detail.
