@article{Svyrydenko_2018, title={LETTER IN THE CONTEXT OF THE ROMANTIC MULTIGENRE THEORY}, url={https://tdp-journal.com/index.php/journal/article/view/52}, abstractNote={<p>In the paper, «letter» as a genre is studied in connection with romantic&nbsp;theory of multigenre. The author states that during Romantic period letter comes to romanticists’ attention both as a part of practical search for new&nbsp;writing forms and in the course of theoretical reflection. In particular, the&nbsp;epistle was referred to when explaining the theory of multigenre, which was&nbsp;presented by romanticists. It is mentioned that romanticists dismissed standard&nbsp;theory of literary genres. They did not take conventional examples for models,&nbsp;as much as they experimented and preferred genre fusion. Romanticists’genre&nbsp;liberties and experiments were based on the dismissing of classic requirement&nbsp;for «genre purity». Romanticists rejected all the rules and genre regulations;&nbsp;they practiced diffusion and genre blending. Romantic experimenting with genres could be originated from the introduction and practical application of&nbsp;romantic irony principle, which was based on J.G. Fichte’s subjective idealist&nbsp;philosophy. Apart from genre blending, romanticists proclaimed another&nbsp;requirement for the form, it had to be natural and in the spirit, the category of&nbsp;which was absolutized. All of this led to the significance of «letter», which&nbsp;according to its genre characteristics was appropriate to romantic directive&nbsp;for fragmentarity of writing, and to romanticists’ aiming at the reflection of&nbsp;world spiritual dimension. Within the framework of romantic theories&nbsp;epistolary form was extremely appropriate to romanticism with its worship of&nbsp;human individuality, its attention to person’s inner world, its directive for&nbsp;confessing and individual experience perception. Epistolary form was highly&nbsp;suitable for such variety of novelistic genre, created by romanticists, as an&nbsp;artist’s novel peculiar to German romantic literature, and a confessing novel&nbsp;mainly common in French romantic literature. Epistolary forms and genre&nbsp;fusion in Ukrainian literature are represented by Ye. Hrebinka’s novels and&nbsp;novelets.</p&gt;}, number={27}, journal={Theoretical and didactic philology}, author={Svyrydenko, Oksana}, year={2018}, month={Jun.}, pages={103-112} }
