Methods of study: Comparative and comparative historical methods are used to reveal the influence of other Ukrainian (I. Kotlyarevsky, M. Shashkevych, M. Ustijanovych, Y. Golovatsky, P. Kulish, A.

Biographical method makes it possible to find out the dependence of S. Vorobkevych’s views on poetics on the life basis.

Konysky) and foreign (T. Padura, Y.V. Goethe, G. Heine, V. Alexandri, M. Eminescu, I. Geliade -Redulescu, J.
