Kravchenko O. Poetics of the sublime: architectonic-compositional modifications.

Grounding on the analysis of the historical development of the category, the conclusion has been drawn concerning the aesthetic meta-categorial character of the sublime, correlating with the poetic meta-categoriality. It is proved that the sublime as the meta-category is manifested by the whole set of architectonic and compositional forms. The modifications of the sublime are presented in the research by the categories of the artistic whole, style, form. The thesis reveals the significance of the poetic principles of the sublime in classical (N. Gogol’s works) and non-classical (A. Belyi’s, V. Ivanov’s works) paradigms of artistic development.
