Abstract:

The research sheds light on the originality of the work by F. Sologub as an outstanding representative of Russian symbolism and decadence through the plot and composition analysis of his debut novel i.e. “Heavy dreams”. This novel is often passed over by researchers who focus on the more famous work of the writer e.g. “The Little Demon” novel.
The goal achievement is facilitated by the use of narrative analysis and its peculiarities for plot and composition invention in Sologub’s novel. Another type of literary analysis is the intertextual one, it allows us to identify and understand the important links between Sologub’s text and Dostoevsky’s novels.

Keywords:

Intertext in the literature of the Silver Age, Fyodor Sologub, Dostoevsky’s intertext, composition of Sologub’s novels, intertext in Sologub’s works, Russian Symbolist novel, Sologub and Dostoevsky.
