Pedret, Sarah ; Higgins, Bernadette (advisor) ; Ženíšek, Jakub (referee)
This bachelor's thesis deals with the influence that Christianity and the original Anglo-Saxon Pagan religions had on each other during the Christianization of Anglo-Saxon Britain. Above all, it deals with the coexistence of Christian and pagan symbols in the texts of Old English literature. The theoretical part deals with the historical context of the time in which the examined texts were written. It focuses on the Christianization of Anglo-Saxon Britain and the continuing influence of the original pagan faith and its symbols on literary art, mainly the epic poem Beowulf. The practical part of this work deals with the analysis of the text of the epic poem Beowulf, the symbols used in it and their meanings.
