Reflexion of Antiquity in Historical Novels of Jarmila Loukotková
Hodková, Kateřina ; Zdichynec, Jan (advisor) ; Kepartová, Jana (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with the depiction of antiquity in historical novels by Jarmila Loukotková. The work first defines the concept of the "historical novelˮ and its tradition, with an emphasis on its development in the Czech lands. The next part of the work focuses on the personality of Jarmila Loukotková and her work in the literary field. In the last part the bachelor thesis focuses on the historical period discussed in selected novels by the writer. This is followed by an analysis of the historical novels about the ancient period, namely There is no Roman people (1949) and Laughter underneath a mask (1977), in terms of historical credibility. For comparison, I used Tacitus's Annales, Polybius's History IV, Plutarch's Parallel Biographies of Famous Greeks and Romans, and Suetoniusʼs Biographies of Twelve Emperors. The last part of my bachelor's thesis will focus on how the everyday life of ancient Rome is depicted in selected novels by J. Loukotková. I will pay the greatest attention to how the coexistence of man and woman is treated in the novels. KEYWORDS reflexion of antiquity; historical novel; Jarmila Loukotková; Rome; emperor Nero; Terence; dealing with historical facts; There is no Roman people; Petronius; Laughter underneath a mask; Czech literature of 20th century
