Problems of the Emergence and Formation of the Russian Historical Novel

Abstract

It is known that the historical novel was marked by the appearance in the first half of the XIX century of works by W. Scott, V. Hugo, A. Vigny and other writers who described the past, which resonated with the general public. It was then that the historical novel became dominant as a genre for literary thought, acquiring literary forms: a qualitatively new cultural and historical world that significantly expanded "this space of civilization" led to the emergence of a number of new historiographical ideas. Literature is a historical novel, a historical poem, a historical drama, an experiment in literary and artistic philosophy".
