Journal Title: UNKNOWN - Year 2014, Vol 4, Issue
Abstract
M. Lermontov had not specified the genre of his main prose work. It has been defined as a “novel”. At the present day, we figured out a “cycle” as a type of genre. These theoretical studies lead us to better understanding of the literary history phenomena.
