| Summary: | Th e article is dedicated to one of the major problems of literature
that is scientifi c description, introduction into scientifi c use and comprehension
of handwritten materials of writer’s creative heritage. At the heart
of the research there is a draft novel of I. S. Shmelev “Crossroads” [“Rosstani”]
kept in the Research Department of Manuscripts of the Russian State
Library. Th e article presents codicological description and textual analysis
of the draft that brought to light two versions and two editions of the short
novel, revealed their genealogy, the process of formation and development
of the narration. Philological analysis of discrepancies in the editions allows
us to comprehend genesis of the plot, reveal the author’s objectives in the poetics
of the short novel. In the course of the comparative analysis of diff erent
editions in the poetics of the short novel there were found out literary devices
inherent to a Neo-Realist literary work, such as the abundance of out-of-plot
elements that produce eff ect of a discrete narrative; repeating common details,
the images of Russian nature, the motives of memory and leave that
form a symbolic level of the short novel. |
