“Historical poetics” by A.N. Veselovsky (1838-1906), even during the life of the author recognized as a classic of philology, largely determined the development of many areas of humanitarian knowledge throughout the XX century. An outstanding Russian philologist, researcher of national and world literature, translator and founder of comparative-historical literary studies, A.N. Veselovsky was long ahead of his time, becoming a pioneer of the doctrine of syncretism of primitive poetry. He was the first to approve the analysis of folk epics on the basis of a comparative study of verbal and written legends in different cultures, paying special attention to the study of the Russian epic.
The proposed book includes key works by A.N. Veselovsky, illustrating the breadth and depth of his views, as well as methods of historical poetics - a scientific discipline about the genesis and evolution of literary forms.
The publication will be useful to philologists, culturologists, historians, as well as everyone interested in literature, mythology and folklore.
