Journal Title: Проблеми сучасного літературознавства - Year 2016, Vol 0, Issue 22

Abstract

The author of this article contemplates rather a curious problem that is illustrative for understanding the poetics of the Russian literature of the 19th century, — intensification of an element of convention in the fiction. By recurring to the genre of a fairy tale, both O. Storozhenko, a Romanticist, and V. G. Korolenko, a representative of the literary realism of the last third of the 19th century, succeeded in expressing the national model of the world. The writers correlated the events happening to their contemporary with the universal, supertemporal categories. The author of this article draws on the advanced and most promising, as they seem to be nowadays, literary strategies: mythopoetics and narratology, in particular; works by V. I. Tyupa. The analysis of the works by O. Storozhenko and V. G. Korolenko dedicated to an encounter of man and the devil enables to conclude that the fantasy by Storozhenko is express, like in a fairy tale. The fantasy in the work by V. Korolenko is implicit. The singularity of the Little Russian fairy tale «The Judgement Day» is a peculiar flavour of convention; speaking of this work; development of a psychological insight can be mentioned. The plot of the novel «A Devil In Love» by O. Storozhenko ascends to fairy tales and legendry and has an express mythopoetic core.
