| The paper presents several microplots based on onomastic and bestiarian parallels of A. Shakhovsky’s comedies and Pushkin's «Eugene Onegin» and «Count Nulin». Using the example of «little details» - textual coincidences in works of two authors, most of which are noted for the first time, allowed us to demonstrate the principles of microphilological approach to literary texts concerning the investigation of «stock of the ready-made word» of Russian poetry. The specific feature of this method is in transferring starting point of interpretation to micro-levels: textual coincidences, communal verbal formulas. It is customary to scorn these subtle things; but the collection, systematization, and analysis of the functioning of such convergences allow not only to catch a new (interior) glance at the binary correlated constructive relations of writers but also to see the whole picture of Russian literature in its genetic relationships. Textual interchangers do not know genre boundaries; they easily pass from comedy to novel and poem, from prose to poetry. They float between old and new contexts, retaining the memory of both and throwing new light on each one. Every such «little thing» - if we take our time and trace its «new life» in works of different authors - can be expanded to a complex intertextual plot |
