Abstract:
“Urgent literature”, as journalism was called in the 19th century, underwent changes associated with both external factors and the internal logic of its own development at the beginning of the 20th century. Literature and journalism interact in many ways. The mechanisms of this interaction are still not well understood. The peculiarity of the Russian cultural situation lies in the unusually close connection in which not only journalism and literature developed in the 19th century, and especially at the beginning of the 20th century but also the way in which philology did. Poetics as a science is largely shaped by focusing on the current literary process, and the participation of leading scientists as critics noticeably increases the level of journalism.
