About the Journal


Historical Poetics

Historical Poetics is an original line of researches in Russian and World literary studies. It was elaborated by VESELOVSKY A. N. and developed then by Zhirmunsky V. M., Putilov B. N., Meletinsky E. M., Bakhtin M. M., Likhachiov D. S., Averintsev S. S., Mikhailov A. V. and others. The purpose of Historical Poetics is to study genesis and evolution of poetic forms, and  its task is to “define the role and borders of the tales in the course of  individual creative work” (Veselovsky A.N.).

Aims & Scope

In print since 1990 The Problems of Historical Poetics journal aims to promote the development of education in humanities and sciences in Russia and abroad and publish new studies in comparative historical poetics. The journal offers new interpretations of the works of Russian and World literature based on original ideas and concepts. Until 2017, each issue of the journal had a thematic title. Among the best-known issues there is ''The Gospel text in Russian literature of the 18th—20th centuries: quote, reminiscence, motive, plot, genre", where a particular research trend – ethnopoetics – was formed. Ethnopoetics makes it possible to discover national features of Russian philology through the categories of poetics. The authors of the articles offer new interpretations of the Russian classics, a new concept of Russian Literature as Christian one. These issues were the result of the International Conference "The Gospel Text in Russian Literature". This conference, which discusses a new concept of Russian literature, takes place once every three years at Petrozavodsk State University, opening on the Day of the Holy Spirit.

 

The journal has been acclaimed in international periodicals. In one of his reviews a distinguished American Slavist Victor Terras designated this research trend as «A Christian revolution in Russian literary studies»: Terras, Victor. A Christian Revolution in Russian Literary Criticism // Slavic and East European Journal. 2002. Vol. 46. N 4. P. 769- 776.


In 2017, the journal changed the format and frequency of publication. Since that time, it has been published quarterly. The journal "The Problems of Historical Poetics" offers researchers from Russia and other countries an international platform for publishing for publishing the results of research work on the study of world folklore and literature. The journal strives for the international integration of Russian literary research and the incorporation of contemporary international research in Russian literary studies.
