Tato diplomová práce je zaměřena na problematiku vlivu politické filozofie, především liberalismu a konzervatismu, na fantasy literaturu. To vše je zkoumáno v románu Jonathan Strange & pan Norrell (2004) od Susanny Clarke, který zpochybňuje ideály a politické názory počátku devatenáctého století tím, že s nimi vede kritický dialog, zkoumá myšlenky, které byly v té době běžné a zřídka zpochybňované, a představuje liberálnější perspektivu na mnoho témat, jako je otázka rasové a genderová rovnosti.

This diploma thesis is focused on the influence of political philosophy, especially liberalism and conservatism, on fantasy literature. This is examined in Susanna Clarke's Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell (2004), a novel which challenged the ideals and political views of the early nineteenth century by engaging in critical dialogue with them, exploring common ideas which were rarely questioned at the time. Additionally, it presents a more liberal perspective on many topics, such as race and gender equality.

This thesis will focus on the way the genre of neo-Victorian fantasy is realized in Susanna Clarke's novel Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell (2004). The aim here is to determine whether this novel is subject to the belief that the genre is inherently conservative in its nature, as well as looking at how the novel reflects the changing and multicultural nature of society at the time of its publication. This will be done by first defining the genre of neo-Victorian fantasy and its features in the context of fantasy literature. The concepts of conservatism, progressivism, and multiculturalism in literature will also be defined. An analysis of the use of these features in the novel will follow, in order to see whether they are used to assert or dispute this conservative point of view.
