Ostrožnik, Lea (author), Snoj, Vid (mentor)

Diplomsko delo osvetljuje življenji Charlesa Dickensa in Donne Tartt ter se posveča primerjavi njunih romanov. Raziskuje značilnosti Bildungsromana v romanu Lišček Donne Tartt in romanu Veliko pričakovanje Charlesa Dickensa ter odgovarja na vprašanje, zakaj se je pisateljice prijel vzdevek »Dickens sodobnega časa«. Charles Dickens velja za ključnega pisatelja viktorijanske dobe, medtem ko je Donna Tartt sodobna ameriška pisateljica. Čeprav sta si časovno in prostorsko različna, imata tudi skupne točke. Podobnosti lahko opazimo pri njunem stilu pisanja. Ne uide jima nobena malenkost, zato so opisi izčrpni in natančni. Diplomsko delo je razdeljeno na dva dela. V prvem, teoretičnem delu je izpostavljena teorija Bildungsromana, v drugem delu pa se osredotoča na izbrana romana in njuno primerjavo. Za primerjavo je bilo ključno, da oba izpostavljena romana zaradi poteka zgodbe in razvoja protagonistov žanrsko sovpadata z Bildungsromanom.
