THE ROLE OF SHAKESPEARE’S THEATRE IN FORMING OF THE RUSSIAN HISTORICAL TRAGEDY
The article examines the process of birth of Shakespeare's tradition in the Russian dramaturgy and its influence on the principles of plotcomposing and genreforming of the Russian tragedy. For the first time, A. P. Sumarokov, the founder of the Russian dramatic art system, appeals to Shakespear and lays the foundation of the tradition to orient the Russian historic drama art to the Shakesperian theatre. Historical substratum of his tragedy “The Pretender Dimitri”, the formation of artistic principles of historicism, structural interpenetration of the genre canons of tragedy and comedy turned out closer not to the traditions of the French classic theater and drama but to the English Shakespearian drama.
Keywords: dramaturgy, tragedy, plot, “the epoch of the time of troubles”, Sumarokov, impostor
