французская литература XVIII в.

This article deals with understanding the polemic of the novel Le Télémaque travesti by Pierre Carlet de Marivaux (1714) with Les Aventures de Télémaque (1699) by François Fenelon. It is noted that despite the interest of researchers in the novel, the specific nature of its poetics was not considered within the framework of the polemical focus on its predecessor; therefore, the aim of the article is to consider the peculiarities of the hero’s relationship with reality in the context of the Fenelon polemic based on the principle of parody.

The article explores the correlation between analytical and objective psychologism in Crébillon-son’s works by means of analyzing an oriental fairytale Tanzaï et Néadarné and a novel Les Égarements du cœur et de l’esprit as parts of a unified artistic system. A preference for a certain form of artistic psychologism is defined by two factors. Firstly, it depends on the variability of characters mastering the rules of social etiquette while maintaining the interest in movements of their own hearts.
