NON-CLASSICAL NARRATIVE COMPOSITION IN THE RUSSIAN LITERATURE OF THE XX CENTURY (BASED ON THE MATERIAL OF V. KAVERIN'S NOVEL "TWO CAPTAINS")

Author: Kharitonov O.A.

The article examines the features of the poetics of V. Kaverin's novel "Two Captains" (antitheticism, polysubjectivity, multiple focalization, polyphony, stereoscopy, fragmentarily), as well as the reflection in the figurative and compositional structure of the whole spectrum of varieties of the novel genre (medieval chivalric novel, sentimental novel, picaresque novel, Gothic novel, novel of upbringing, love-adventurous novel, an epistolary novel, etc.). All of the above allows us to talk about Kaverin's "Two Captains" as one of the first novels with a non-classical composition of narration in the history of Russian literature of the XX century.
