Abstract: 

The subject of this study is the space-time loci in secondary texts based on the novel by Jane Austen. The research material in the framework of identifying the cognitive scheme of actualization of the loci of space and time was the sequel by Colleen McCullough Independence of Miss Mary Bennet and the sequel by Jane Dawkins More Letters from Pemberley. These secondary texts demonstrate noticeable difference in the perception of the era of the creation of the original work by stylistically different authors. Colleen McCullough is a well-known author thanks to the novel The Thorn Birds, as well as other works in the genre of historical adventure. Unlike McCullough, Jane Dawkins is less known to readers, but has had some success working on stylizations in the spirit of Regency England. In the course of the study, the functions of loci in the narrative, the actualizers of time and space, as well as the nature of nomination and predication in secondary texts are of interest from the point of view of representing the geographical map of their referent, the novel Pride and Prejudice. Within the framework of the literary aspect of the study, in order to compare the stylistic images of each of the novels, the aesthetic category of the picturesque is considered on the example of the actualization of Pemberley in the original and the sequel.
