Abstract

The formulation of the problem says about experimenting with content and form as a creative method of Dara Korniy. Artistic (14 books) and research (2 books) achievements of the Ukrainian writer gives the opportunity to learn about culture, ideology, ancient beliefs of our ancestors. However, the writer successfully combines mythology and modernity, eternal themes and problems of modern society in her novels. This result is achieved through the reception of the game – with characters, with plot, with traditions. Researchers of Dara Korniy’s creativity determine its belonging to the genre of fantasy relevant in the modern literary process. Analysis of publications and researches of the novel «Mavka’s Diary» showed that critics paid attention to the mosaic composition, mythopoetics, allusions and reminiscences, the image making in it. Therefore, among the previously unselected problems is the frequent inclusion of various texts in the context of the novel. Among the expressive intertextuality with echoes in domestic and foreign classics, we especially single out folklore narratives. To analyze this problem, a leading historical-comparative method is used, which helped to compare the content of folklore texts with their meanings and functions in the novel «Mavka’s Diary». It is emphasized that proverbs and sayings are most noticeable in the artistic world of the novel. They describe the characters, their way of life, inner world, mainly. It is observed that some paremias were used by the writer in their original sound and meaning, some were adapted and endowed with new meaning. Also in the context of the novel two lullabies «sound», which help to reveal the mental state of Magdalena-Mavka. Situations and their material content have been analyzed, where family and household lyric is arising and emphasizing the borderline state of the main character. The situation of choice in a woman's life is also complemented by Chumak songs. The philosophical issues in the novel are emphasized by parables. The parable of the woman and the parable of the seeds both emphasize the role of art in Olexiy-Mamay’s life. The protagonist of the novel is artist and parables demonstrate his path to the main vocation. The conclusions state that the novel «Mavka's Diary» continues the literary tradition – a close connection with folklore. Mostly folk narratives help to highlight the temper of the characters and more clearly convey complicated situations. Such texts are partly inserted to the dialogues of the characters, to the inner speech of the protagonists and nominate the chapter of the novel. Prospects of research problems of the text in the context of large prose are seen in the tracking of literary inclusions in the novel «Mavka’s Diary», which will demonstrate the stylistic manner of Dara Korniy.
