BUChARS'KA I. The transformation of the newspaper genre of the topical satire novel in "The Human Comedy" by O. de Balsak

In the dissertation while using socio-cultural method, the "additional" point of view on traditional for Balsak studying circle of problems was suggested. The ideological and artistic analysis of "The Human Comedy" by O.de Balsak is being conducted in the context of the history of French press within 30-40 years of the XIX century, when the press was becoming a new democratic cultural institute, forming public opinion. Poetological analysis of the best models of the "borderime" (between literature and journalism) genre - topical satire novel ("Paris Mysteries" by E. Siu, "Three Musketeers" by A. Diuma) was suggested in the thesis. Comparative analysis of poetics of "The Human Comedy" by O. de Balsak with the basic principles of the topical satire novel allowed to enlarge slightly the concept of the genesis and genre specificity (mega topical satire) of one of the most significant literary phenomena of the XIX century.
