Abstract

The work examines the novel "The Spectre Bridegroom” in the context of "The Sketch Book” by W. Irving. The impact of the European romantics’ experience on the formation of the writer’s folkloristic concept is clarified. The transformation of the ballad plot into a "practical joke", an American humor of folk origin is traced. The connection with the German folklore tradition, the romantic duality of the finale, naturocentrism, the binary oppositions "silence - speech", "masculine - feminine", which are characteristic of both the short story "The Spectre Bridegroom" and many other works of the collection, are analyzed.
