Abstract

Hryhoriy Shton is a notable figure not only in literary studies, but also in literature. The artist was always in a state of searching for his recipient. Has he found his reader, director, audience – a rhetorical question. The author always hoped for the future, for this he worked as hard as possible and paid attention to the present. Reviews, posts, interviews, essays are the genres in which he maximally demonstrated his existence. These are the texts that require research attention in order to choose appropriate optics for the scientific understanding of artistic heritage. In the historical plane, this is important in order to give a proper assessment of the literary process of two thousand years, in the theoretical plane – in order to deepen the correlations between the statements of writers about literature and the artistry of their works. That is why attention will be focused on two collections of essays by H. Shton. Syncretism as a distinctive stylistic feature of H. Shton’s work has already been noticed by literary critics, but the answer to the question of how the understanding of literature affected the author's work has not yet been found. For this, a somewhat narrower goal should be achieved – to understand the writer's understanding of literature, its specifics, artistic tasks, etc., using the methods of receptive aesthetics and hermeneutics. In the course of the research, it was found that self-knowledge was of primary importance for the artist, in which the writer saw an opportunity to understand the context without which it is unthinkable to consider a work of fiction. In a broad context, H. Shton also thought about the mission of literature. At first glance, fiction is a model of life, but H. Shton’s life itself was thought on a large scale – earthly / heavenly, individual / universal. In all his considerations, the author sought to encourage the reader to expand the boundaries of thinking, therefore he worked on his own self-improvement as an artist, advice on which we find in the texts. The novelty of the study lies in the fact that the essays of H. Shton are first critically analyzed in terms of metaliterature. The writer's essays function as a mediator between the author's philosophical principles and his work. H. Shton chose the genre of a confessional essay, so reflexivity, self-awareness, and self-awareness become the basic principles. In the future, it is appropriate to investigate literary portraits, thanks to which assessment the criteria for the formation of the literary canon according to H. Shton will be highlighted.
