ON THE TEXT OF A WORK OF LITERATURE AND ON ITS INTERPRETATIVE COMMENTARY(BASED ON THE MATERIAL OF DOSTOEVSKY’S NOVEL “THE GAMBLER”)

Abstract

This paper deals with new theoretical approach to literary text, which is called ‘interpretative commentary’. We have tried to demonstrate it on the material of F. Dostoevsky’s novels. In spite of a long story of Dostoevsky’s novels’ academic publishing their texts still need some corrections. As for their interpretation is should be based on a special, not textological or historical but on so called “interpretative” commentary. Methods used in the article are historical, biographical, literary review; interpretative commentary.
