This is an automatically translated description

The second book of Igor Kachurovsky's monograph «Generics and Architectonics» consists of two parts. The first part, "Fundamentals of Scientific Literary Criticism", is intended to introduce the reader to the range of basic theoretical concepts that are used to determine the genre nature and architectonic structure of a literary work. In particular, the book deals with iconography, the doctrine of plot, presentation (or the way of presenting material), the concept of composition, various technical means, and the theory of literary genres. The second part, Genres of Modern Literature, continues the overview of the history of genres begun in the first book of the monograph on the literature of the European Middle Ages and provides a broad genre panorama of world literature (excluding the literatures of the East) from the Renaissance to the present day. Ukrainian material also finds its place in this panorama, in particular from the era of the "shot revival", when our literature, in terms of genre diversity, was almost complete.

The publication is addressed to students, humanities scholars, and all those who seek to deepen their knowledge of literary theory.
