ТРАНСФОРМАЦИЯ ЖАНРА РОМАНА В ПРЕДЕЛАХ БРИТАНСКОГО РОМАНТИЗМА: К ПРОБЛЕМЕ ЭВОЛЮЦИИ ПРОСТРАНСТВЕННО- ВРЕМЕННОЙ СТРУКТУРЫ В ЭПОСЕ

Abstract

The article explores the contribution of British Romanticism to the evolution of the novel as a genre. The fate of the English novel is traced from the era of Pre-Romanticism to the established romantic aesthetics. The typological aspects of the Gothic and historical novel are dissociated, and their comparative characteristics are given. Particular attention is paid to the contribution of the British romantics in the formation of the genre of psychological novel and its gender aspects. While studying the typological aspects of the English romantic novel, it becomes apparent that the typology of the novel is closely related to the evolution of the spatiotemporal structure of the narrative.
