Aliseyenko O. The Peculiarities of Artistic Space and Time in I.Murdoch's Novel "The Nice and The Good".

Thesis is devoted to the analysis of the genetic intertextual sources and the time-space originality in I.Murdoch's novel "The Nice and The Good". The hypothesis suggested was based on the remarkable role of the pastoral modality in the space and time artistic modelling. The major elements of the pastoral modality within the post-Renaissance style trends, were considered. For the first time the analysis of the semantics and functions of the system of loci was undertaken. The artistic time and space analysis allows to regard I.Murdoch as the novelist of "transition" from modernism to postmodernism. The results of research work can be used on lectures and seminars.
