Abstract
The article is devoted to the study of the experience of parodic comprehension of the artistic discoveries of Benjamin Disraeli (1804–1881), an outstanding British statesman and talented writer, one of the founders of the socio-political novel genre in world literature. In the context of intensive study of the political activity and creative heritage of Disraeli, the parodic interpretation of the artistic reality of his novels in the work of the American writer Francis Bret Harte (1836–1902) is of particular interest. The critical and cognitive potential of Bret Harte's parody “Lothaw” from the series “Condensed Novels” is explored. The main methods of this research are cultural-historical, comparative-historical and intertextual analysis methods, as well as a receptive aesthetics method and biographical commentary.
