Abstract
Frontier or border as a topic, an image, a motive or as a concept is remarkably and markedly absent in “classical” picaresque, i.e. 16th and 17th century Spanish picaresque. If a protagonist of such a novel constantly moves and easily traverses all borders, be it geographical or social, the border is not thought of as such either by himself or by the reader. Moreover, the ease of crossing the borders illustrates the importance of its absence for the novel of the time. Such marked absence of borders in the 16th century picaresque can be explained by the connection between picaresque and carnival culture it originated from. In the 18th century novel travelling becomes an integral part of fiction, including picaresque and works it has generated (Marivaux, Defoe). Meanwhile, in the 18th century novel the border is evidently marked, and special or political border tends to mark primarily social border. At the same time, crossing the border is not connected with any difficulties or problems. The relation and correlation between different ways of getting into the new unknown world proves that crossing social, political and geographical borders is vitally important for the 18th century novel. What is more, the unknown or less known world is not perceived by the protagonist as hostile or alien. It is not shown as such in the novel either. Strange does not become alien, it does not lead to alienation, the new world is just the territory which requires conquering. In the 20th century picaresque crossing the borders is again evidently marked and is very important for the novel structure. Moreover, it means the attempt and failure to cross the border between individuals, important for the 20th century literature as a whole.
