ІСТОРИЧНА ТА ХУДОЖНЯ ПРАВДА В ТРАГЕДІЇ М. КОСТОМАРОВА «САВА ЧАЛИЙ»
HISTORICAL AND ARTISTIC TRUTH IN THE TRAGEDY «SAVA CHALYI» BY M. KOSTOMAROV

Summary/Abstract: The historical principle was characteristic both for world and Ukrainian romantic literature of the XIX century. The artists consider national history as an important source of inspiration, so the main element in native literature is the passion for colour of this or that epoch, its artistic representation, e.g. creation of numerous images from different historical times. Thinking about the historical past of their Motherland romanticists widely use historical facts and achievements of folk art. Such conceptualization of historical time fully changed the essence and modus of the past reflection and showed unclear boundaries between trustworthiness and imagination. The peculiarities of correlation of historical and artistic truth in Mykola Kostomarov’s dramaturgy, who is one of the most outstanding representatives of the Ukrainian romanticism, are considered in this article. The attention is focused on the analyses of correlation of historical truth and artistic fiction in the tragedy «Sava Chalyi».
