Journal Title: Проблеми сучасного літературознавства - Year 2018, Vol 0, Issue 27
Abstract
The article gives a brief overview of the problem of partextuality in both foreign and Ukrainian literary studies. It is noted that the author has already addressed the issue of interconnections between elements of the frame text in historical novels, but it is worth further elaboration. The tasks of the article are to track the links between peritext and the main text ; to reveal the validity of the nomination of a novel in general, and its chapters in particular; to establish the functionality of the epigraph in order to reconstruct the semantic field of artistic work. The general epigraph and its consistency with the title of the novel are analyzed. Due to the typological comparison of the passages of the novel with the «Lay of Igor’s Warfare», the close connection of the two texts is proved, which is reflected in the title. An open connection between the novel and other literary works of culture of this historical period is observed in the organization of four chapters of the novel. Epigraphs to the first and fourth sections are metonymic because they appear as part of other texts such as «The Book of Solomon’s Wisdom» and the book of P. Tychyna’s poems «The Spring of 1942». Democritus’ expression and the folk proverb reveal as autonomous epigraphs to the second and third chapters. The reflection of the semantic loads of epigraphs are observed in the titles and chapter texts. The conclusions emphasize the inextricable connection between the elements of peritext and the main text. The multifunctionality of epigraphs in «title — epigraph — text» system are observed, since they simultaneously appeared as a commentary on the main text and literary reminiscence. Choosing the epigraphs to separate chapters of the novel, the writer hints at the parallels in the history of nations, famous personalities, facts, events. The epithet complete and interpret the main text, reveal the author’s attitude, engage in dialogue with the reader and encourage him or her to think; extend the semantic boundaries of the title. The analysis of text-around elements testified the metatectural connections of the historical novel by Raisa Ivanchenko.
