THE POETICS OF MANOR LIFE IN RUSSIAN AND ENGLISH FICTION

Abstract The manor solitude responds and concentrates all the painful points of Russian reality as much as possible. Hence, the universalism of the concept of the Russian manor is born as a combination and organic synthesis of many cultural, historical, moral and ethical aspects. The artistic text traced the full range of nuances of human relations and perceptions and affirmed the ideal of selfless friendships and a reliable family nest. A separate human fate was reflected in the overall picture of noble provincial life, and its moral and moral foundations, as well as socio-economic conditions objectively reproduced the Russian life of that time as a whole. Russian manor literature was the product of objective historical cultural conditions that took place in Russia by the beginning of the nineteenth century. A special role in the formation of this genre was also played by pan-European literary trends that have developed in European countries, and, in particular, in the British literary environment. These pan-European trends have determined the patterns and boundaries of the formation and development of the manor text, both in Russian and British literature.
