Abstract
The article examines the impressionistic features of Jean Rhys’short stories through the example of “Hunger” included in the first collection of short stories by the writer. The features of short stories’ literary impressionism (fragmentation, sketchiness, tendency to plotlessness or displacement of events from external life to internal, details’ domination, use of stream of consciousness) are considered through a review of the aesthetic principles of the English writer and critic Ford Madox Ford, who had a direct influence on the Rhys’ development as a writer in the 1920s. In the process of research, the reason for the preference for a short story is revealed. Thus, being fragmentary, the story acts as a ‘scene’ and the main role is being played by impression, feeling, moment.
