The content of artistic forms. Epic

What meaning does the form of the artwork itself emit? Its genre and type, specific structure, plot, rhythm? Why does a playwright perceive the world differently from a lyric poet or an epic writer, and why does an elegy imply different content than an ode, sonnet, or ballad? How does one define the other? Two eternal problems of culture: content and form, and the division of literature into genres and types are intertwined in the book and mutually explain themselves. The author of the book, a renowned literary critic, aesthetician, and philosopher, a Doctor of Philological Sciences, accurately identifies the meanings set by the optics of their genres in a particular artistic text - whether it be tragedy, satire, detective story - even before we, as readers, immerse ourselves in the subject world of that tragic, satirical, or detective story.
Becoming a scientific event upon its first publication, the study by G.D. Gachev, analyzing classical works of ancient, Western European, and Russian literature, is by no means limited to the value of a monument of Russian philological and aesthetic thought and fully retains its relevance for the present day.
For philologists, philosophers, aestheticians, literary critics, and all those interested in the problems of humanitarian culture.
