ALLUSION AND REMINISCENCE IN THE MANUSCRIPT OF FYODOR DOSTOEVSKY'S NOVEL THE RAW YOUTH (VASILY ZHUKOVSKY'S ELEGY A COUNTRY CHURCHYARD)

The article examines the intertextual relations in the manuscript and in the printed text of Fyodor Dostoevsky’s novel The Raw Youth, using an example of the allusion to the Vasily Zhukovsky’s elegy A Country Churchyard and analyzing the specifics of its functioning in the context of the novel’s narration. The main objective of the work was to establish the internal trends of the author's ideas' development in the novel. The task was to investigate the problem of studying intertextual relations in the works of Fyodor Dostoevsky (since the theoretical aspects of the problem were not specifically addressed in previous studies) and to analyze the literary material using the textual approach. The source text, which is important for the formation of intertextual relations, is examined not as an individual piece of writing but in the context of the The Raw Youth manuscripts that helps to clarify the nature of its artistic interpretation and the conjunction of folkloristic and biblical concepts in the novel.
