This is an automatically translated description

Artistic phenomena born in the process of verbal creativity reveal various facets of the author's inner life and, with their aesthetic energies, influence the emotional and intellectual sphere of the recipient. A work of art as a product of mental activity matures in complex experiences, reflections, and searches for form, style, image, and word. Their regularities and individual manifestations are revealed by the psychology of creativity. These questions generate the content of the textbook, which offers a conceptual vision of the mental nature and aesthetic principles of literary creativity, and brings its universal and specific facets up to date in the historical development of science and at the level of its modern achievements. Mastering this material will help in the diagnosis and development of literary abilities, in literary education, self-education and individual self-organisation of authors, and for researchers - in understanding the relationship of the work with the writer's "I".

Addressed to students of higher educational institutions. It will serve everyone who is interested in literary creativity - students, teachers, mentors of creative youth, writers.
