Оппозиция к кинематографу в романе Уиндема Льюиса «Обезьяны Господни»
The paper considers the impact of cinema on the satirical novel «The Apes of God» (1930) by English modernist painter and writer Wyndham Lewis as contextualized by its author’s predominantly negative reception of cinema in his fiction and criticism. Cinema is represented in the novel as an anti-intellectual and anti-aesthetic mass-produced cultural product, whose model serves passively mechanical characters satirized by the author as a model for perceiving and interpreting their lives. Conceived as such, cinema stands in stark contrast with the text of the novel. Detailed metaphorical descriptions of the least significant movements of objects and characters seen from a short distance act as a deliberate literary antithesis to such popular cinema’s devices as slow motion and close-up. Thus, Lewis’s novel is a consistent articulation of its author’s opposition to cinema both on the level of content and of form. Overall, «The Apes of God» stands one of the most representative literary examples of the aversion towards cinema shared by many of the masters of English «high modernism».

In chapter deals with Russian poetry in 1916.
The article deals with one storyline of the novel Anna Karenina that stands as the key for the re-search into the significance of Anglomania in the novel. The 1850-1870s in Russian culture is the time of a most intensive formation of the image of the UK as a highly complex combination of real and mythological elements. The novel Anna Karenina, which Tolstoy himself called the novel about modern life, sets forth the fashion for everything ‘English’ in Russian high society in the 1870s with almost documentary precision. The episode the article deals with is Anna Karenina's reading of an English novel. The article looks at different theories of the origin of the novel and suggests a particular novel as the source for the English novel in Anna Karenina. Article argues that the knowledge of the particular English novel contributes not only to the re-search of Anglomania in Anna Karenina and other Tolstoy's works but also gives a significant in-sight into the study of the characters in the novel.
