Abstract
The article is devoted to the study of features of literary works by H. C. Andersen. The author analyzes the different views of scholars and literary critics on the specifics of the creative works of the artist in the context of the development of the traditions of romanticism which are distinctly embodied in the critical literature. The term as a literary phenomenon is analyzed on the account to the work of the famous scholars who reflected intertextuality as a concept that informs structuralist poststructuralist deliberations in its contention that individual texts are inescapably related to other texts in a matrix of irreducible plural and provisional meanings. In Kristeva’s formulation, according to the views of critic discourse the term “intertext” is considered as the site of an intersection of numberless texts and existing only through its relation with other texts. This idea was anticipated in Barthes’ idea of the text as “a tissue of quotations”, as “fluid”, with many levels of meaning. The concept of intertextuality defuses the traditional humanist notion of the text as a self-contained, autonomous entity in the view that it is but a weave” of codes from other texts or discourses such as that of history, social conditions, philosophy, theology and so on. This view help us understanding the outlines of the intertext as a feature in the literary text. “The Improvisator” by H. C. Andersen provides a particularly strong example of intertext features. The writer with the help of intertext or with the “effects” of the other text give the readers a new meaning and influence the way of interpreting the original text. Given to the issue of the literary peculiarities of H. C. Andersen’s novels, theirs innovations, the inner connection of the author’s ideas and the psychological essence of images, the author investigated the main elements of the poetics of the intertextuality. The article highlights the artistic generalizations as the defining mechanism of the concrete embodiment of the author’s aesthetically “redeveloped” reality. The author examines the influence of the writer’s creativity on the development of scientific literary traditions and the perception of the world by the reader. The author claims that personal reflection on life is the background of the autobiographical novel, thus it help us in understanding the complex functioning of intertextual features as a means of interrelationship between texts, their influence on the reader’s perspectives. In this paper the author will critically reflect on the assumption and assertion of intertextuality as a feature which denotes the way in which texts gain meaning through their referencing or evocation of other texts (on the examples of the novel “The Improvisator ”in particular.
