AXIOLOGICAL UNDERSTANDING OF THE PATH MOTIF IN THE NOVEL IN VERSE “SVAROGOV” BY V. A. SHUF

The article is devoted to the study of the value aspects of the path motive, which is archetypal in Russian literature. This motif is dominant in the heritage of the Silver Age poet V. A. Shuf (1865–1913). The study has been conducted on the material of the novel in verse “Svarogov” (1898) that inherits the genre traditions of novels in verse by A. S. Pushkin and Y. P. Polonsky and that is, in fact, an “encyclopedia of Russian life” at the turn of the 19th–20th centuries.
