“Biographic grotesque” as the method of the interpretation of the creative life of A.S. Pushkin (in the critical reflection of V. Nabokov and A. Bitov)

The article deals with the technique of “the grotesque biographism” on the basis of the Pushkin’s concepts of V. Nabokov and A. Bitov, where the poet is presented as the figure of “the personal poetic mythology” of the authorS. The originality of the material’s presentation and the urgency of its characteristics consist in the choice of the theoretical and methodological principle of the conceptualization of the definition “biographic grotesque” (in the meaning of “the combination of the mismatching”, the deformated correlation of the whole and the parts, the enlargement of the plot’s details, the offence of the canon, the confusion of the elite and the popular, the low and the high, the reality of the being and the fantastic, the living and the dead).
