Abstract

The article deals with current problems of research of national literature of the 20th century in the cultural-historical conditions of the new century. Its place and significance in the world literary epoch are defined. The study analyses the general, world socio-historical and theoretical origins and conditions of the formation of the all-Russian national identity, as well as the change of paradigms of artistic consciousness. The research experience of such current problems as historical coordinates, development of multinational artistic and aesthetic process is emphasized and updated. The provisions of scientific historicism and the comparative-typological method used in the work allow to actualize in new conditions the fundamental problems of the study of national literature as a special national-aesthetic phenomenon, which became a part of the world culture of XX century. It is concluded that the national verbal art of the last century is in need of generalised, scientifically based research and objective assessment today.
