Journal Title: Проблеми сучасного літературознавства - Year 2017, Vol 0, Issue 24
Abstract
In a sign of significant achievements of national literature in the study of literary epistolary (mean works M. Kotsyubynsky, O. Halych, Zh. Lyahova, V.Kuzmenko, H. Mazoha, A. Ilkiv etc.) remains Ukrainian romantics’ epistolary prose practically unexplored. However, contains epistolary heritage of the Ukrainian romantics, in particular A. Metlynsky and O. Storozhenko, many valuable materials that illustrate the phenomenon of Ukrainian romanticism in general and romantic epistolary prose in particular. The purpose of this article is to investigate the place and role of allusions in the correspondence of mentioned authors. The article proves that the allusions in the Ukrainian romantics’ letters are not self-sufficient artistic device. Allusion has never served as a simple decoration of the romantic’s letters. Allusions has always been associated with the process of self-knowledge, which was inseparable from the romantics’ epistolary practices. This process of self-knowledge included the constant reference to events that took place in the historical arena. The process of self-knowledge also involved the correlation of the present with the past and the future. In the A. Metlynsky’s letters outweigh literary allusions. These are allusion on the M. Gogol comedy, which allow A. Metlynsky to express in a latent form the political thoughts. Rarely in the A. Metlynsky’s letters you can find allusions to the John Byron’s poems. Even more rarely contains A. Metlynsky in his letters hints at a scientific theory. Allusions of this type help the author to reveal the psychological state. In the O. Storozhenko’s letters allusions to historical events from the Roman Empire’s history are dominated. Through such allusions demonstrates O. Storozhenko his attitude to the policy of another Empire – the Russian Empire. So, the allusions, which in the Ukrainian romantics’ letters are contained, are associated with an attempt of addressant’s self-knowledge. At the same time, the presence of allusions in the Ukrainian artists’ letters of the romantic era due to the fact that these letters were written in the context of censorship. Therefore, only with the help of the hints could these letters convey to recipients the true essence.
