This article examines the work of four writers, three men and one woman, to outline the characteristics of a literary trend tentatively labelled littérature de territoires, or “territorial literature”. It then analyzes the authors’ social attributes before discussing the limitations of such an attempt to define a new genre. To achieve its goals, this study limits its consideration to a single novel per author: L’Été circulaire (Circular Summer) by Marion Brunet, En finir avec Eddy Bellegueule (The End of Eddy) by Édouard Louis, Leurs enfants après eux (And their children after them) by Nicolas Mathieu and Rural noir by Benoit Minville. Interviews with the authors and their respective editors supplement the literary analyses proposed herein.

The English playwright Harold Pinter's plays "The Guardian" and "The Dwarfs" chosen from his drama are addressed to. The "chaotic world" observed in the plot of the plays is analyzed and the conclusion that the heroes are born of conflict in their relationships is defended. The object of research is to take into account the difference between the consciousness and reality. Issues such as conflicts of mind, aimlessness, phobias, the virtual world, lack of communication, psychological disorders of the personality are examined. As in Pinter's works, you can see the features of realism, romanticism, modernism, postmodernism, symbolism, surrealism, absurdism in the drama of Elchin, Kamal Abdulla and Firuz Mustafa. It is important to compare the Azerbaijani and English drama, which does not fit into the framework of any literary trend and is relevant as it lags behind time, in terms of plot, motives and artistic features. Key words: dramaturgy, fears and phobias, fantasy, loneliness and aggression,“madness”

In England, realism was formed very quickly, because it appeared immediately after the Enlightenment, and its formation occurred almost simultaneously with the development of Romanticism, which did not hinder the success of the new literary movement. The peculiarity of English literature is that in it romanticism and realism coexisted and enriched each other. Examples include the works of two writers, Elizabeth Gaskell and Charlotte Bronte. However, the discovery and confirmation of realism in English literature is primarily associated with the legacy of Charles Dickens (1812-1870) and William Makepeace Thackeray (1811-1863). The works of Charles Dickens differ not only in the strengthening of the real social moment, but also in the previous realist literature. Dickens has a profoundly negative effect on bourgeois reality. Key words: England, realism, literary trend, bourgeois society, utopia, unjust life, artistic description

In the 1840s, barrel organ and organ grinders became a core part of the city’s folk entertainment culture as mentioned in essayistic and memoir literature. However, the references are scarce and there are no detailed descriptions existing. To study this phenomenon of folk culture, the author turns to fictional texts: Dead Souls by N.V. Gogol, “Shtoss” by M. Yu. Lermontov, “Katerina-Hurdy-Gurdy” by I.P. Myatlev, and “Savvushka” by I.T. Kokorev. The article analyzes the chain of ideas that each of these authors associates with the barrel organ and organ-grinders. In general, these views correlate with the views reflected in non-literary sources. I.T. Kokorev develops the story of the street artist in the most detailed way which may be explained by his interests in essay writing, closeness to the so-called “natural school” (a 19 th century literary trend), and personal experience.

The specificity of this article is the consideration not only of the completed text entitled A Duma about Brytanka, but also of the play-forming and creating process, which became possible due to the presence of drafts and draft notes to the work. Therefore, this study is conducted not only in along the lines of literary theory, but also textology. The relevance of the study is that the view from above allows us to comprehend, or even rethink, the play A Duma about Brytanka in the context of the author’s work and also in the context of the Soviet drama landscape in general. Understanding and rethinking the work of predecessors is an important process for comprehending the development of literature as a general process and its development within the national borders. The aim of the study at hand is to determine how the realities of the time and especially the accepted literary trend and historical events influenced the formation of the text of the play. The results of the study show that the original idea of A Duma about Brytanka had much more romantic features, as romanticism as a style of thinking was inherent for Yuri Yanovskyi. However, in the process of creating the play, the author began to rely on the documents that showed the real case of the social republic. The author abandoned the original version and completed the play so that it became much closer to the Soviet canon than to romanticism.

RESUMEN: Planteamos en este estudio el tema de la tradición en la poesía de José Antonio Muñoz Rojas (1909-2009) como una prueba más de su arraigo. El garcilasismo de los años cuarenta guarda estrecha relación con la poesía arraigada de aquel tiempo y es una manifestación de la vuelta a la tradición clásica, así que a través de la intertextualidad resaltaremos dos tópicos del tema amoroso, comunes entre Garcilaso de la Vega y nuestro antequerano a través de los libros Sonetos de amor por un autor indiferente (1942) y Abril del alma (1943).ABSTRACT: This paper exposes the issue of tradition in the poetry of José Antonio Muñoz Rojas (1909-2009) as a proof of his «rootedness». The literary trend of Garcilasism is closely related to the classical tradition in the poetry, so through intertextuality we will highlight the recurrence of some topics in Sonetos de amor por un autor indiferente (1942) and Abril del alma (1943) which appear also in the poetry of Garcilaso de la Vega.

El soneto es una forma métrica privilegiada, hasta el punto de traspasar los límites de su consideración como estrofa y adentrarse en los del género literario. Desde su nacimiento en el medievo siciliano, el soneto se extendió por toda la literatura occidental con notable éxito y no ha dejado de cultivarse hasta hoy. Una razón de esta pervivencia ha sido, sin duda, su capacidad para adaptarse a las distintas épocas y modos estéticos. En el caso de las letras hispánicas, un momento clave fue la llegada del modernismo y la implantación de un nuevo credo poético. La corriente venía de América y fue Rubén Darío su principal valedor; pero rápidamente el ámbito peninsular acogió con satisfacción sus novedades. Manuel Machado ha sido un claro exponente de la materialización de aquellas transformaciones: la alteración de su estructura (aun conservando su carácter de obra perfectamente trabada), la diversidad de metros empleada, el enriquecimiento de sus rimas o la asimilación de variedades ajenas a la tradición en lengua española.The sonnet is a privileged metrical form, it even runs through the limits of its consideration as a stanza to go into the ones of a literary genre. Since it was born in the Sicilian Medieval period, the sonnet spread over all the western literature with a remarkable success and it has never stopped of being practised since then. A reason for that, without a doubt, it has been its capacity of conforming to the diff erent ages and aesthetic patterns. In the case of Hispanic writings, a key moment was the appearance of Hispanic American modernism and the implementation of a new poetical creed. This literary trend came from America and Ruben Dario was its main defender, but it was easily accepted in Spain despite its novelties. Manuel Machado has been a clear example of how those transformations became real: the alteration of its structure (although the stanza conserved its character or work perfectly ensembled), the diversity of verses, the prosperity of its rhymes or the assimilation of varieties from out of the Spanish language’s tradition.

This chapter argues that we read the literary trend for the oriental tale that overtook England in the early part of the eighteenth century as one that extended beyond the metropolis. An essential element of the oriental tale, whether Antoine Galland and Grub Street’s Arabian Nights’ Entertainments or Francois de la Croix’s Turkish Tales, is the chronotope of the Mahometan—the imagined counterpart of the Ottoman or Mughal Muslim kings—a that figure defies Enlightenment modalities of ancient time and geographic origin. A ubiquitous figure in the English oriental tale, the Mahometan is constructed as a homeless potentate, a traveling merchant, an itinerant dervish, and a wanderer.
