Abstract
The subject of this article is the structure, key ideas, terms, and research methods of an unpublished monograph by Boris Yarkho, The Rhymed Prose of Hrotsvitha’s Plays. They are compared with the corresponding elements of Yarkho’s Methodology for a Precise Science of Literature, the most comprehensive exposition of his pre-structuralist and pre-digital approach to the history of literature. The article shows that the plan of both works, the main statistical parameters and their meanings are almost identical. In the interpretation of the key ideas one can see the development of Yarkho’s thought. This makes it possible to conclude that work on Hrotsvitha preceded the Methodology, and that Hrotsvitha was the first significant elaboration of Yarkho’s methodological approach to literary studies.
