Experience in constructing a scientific critique of artistic works. Estopsychology

Readers are proposed to the book of the famous French critic Emil Genneken (1858-1888), which establishes the basic principles of the so-called estopsychological (scientific-critical) method of studying literary phenomena. The author considers the three aspects of the study of literary works --- aesthetic, psychological and sociological, and shows how the combination of synthesis and analysis techniques helps to identify the laws of relations between a work of art, personality and society. At the beginning of the book, a brief outline of the evolution of criticism is placed, in which the author describes the theory of Ten in most detail, and also sets out his own opinion about the influence on the literary work of the social environment and the writer.
The book will be interesting to literary scholars, critics, culturalists, philosophers, psychologists, as well as a wide range of readers
