Abstract

Стаття присвячена вивченню типології творчості Етель Ліліан Войнич та Джозефа Конрада в контексті неоромантичних тенденцій, що формувалися в руслі модернізму. Драматизм сюжету, порушення хронології, зміщення композиції, множинність наративу та глибокий психологізм, – твори письменників мають багато спільних рис, що обумовлено типологічною приналежністю до одного мистецького направлення.

The article is devoted to the study of Ethel Lilian Voinich and Joseph Conrad typology in the context of neo-romantic tendencies formed in the period of early modernism. The drama of the plot, violations of the chronology, the displacement of the composition, the plurality of the narrative and profound psychology, the works of writers have many common features. Ascribing to various literary genres (romantic-revolutionary, romantic adventurous and adventurous-colonial), they are marked by neo-romanticism features with its characteristic aspiration to deviate from everyday life and plunge into exotic circumstances and heroic adventures. The tragic existence of man in the absurd chaos of entity is the main idea of the works by Ethel Lilian Voinich and Joseph Conrad. Similar structural plot components, thematic motives, ideological conclusions and profound psychology in the novels by Voynich and Conrad suggest predictions for the further development of literature. Existential loneliness of a man in the crowd, exile, complex conflicts in the borderline situations in which man exposes himself, frankly showing his inner self, behaves unexpectedly for himself, psychologic difficulties, the impossibility of finding not only simple human happiness, but also peace of spirit - all these problems will become the most important in the literary works not only of modernism, but also of postmodernism.
