Abstract

The transitional nature of the era of the turn of the XIX–XX centuries re flects in the structure of the “estate supertext” of Russian literature. From a seman tic point of view, the elegiac moods of longing and loss are intensifying, get actu alized the motives of old age, sunset, autumn, winter. The communicative structure of estate poetry is becoming more complicated, which reflects the internal polemic with the preceding tradition and the growing dialogism associated with many new artistic trends and trends that interpret the same topic in different ways. The status of the “estate topos” is being transformed: it begins to fulfill not only a spatial func tion, but also a rhetorical one (illustration of an idea, point of view, argumentation).
