THE IMAGE OF RIVER IN CH. DICKENS' NOVEL "LITTLE DORRIT"

Abstract

In the article the object of the research is the image of the river in the creativity of the English writer Ch. Dickens (by the example of the novel "Little Dorrit"). Main attention is paid to the revelation of the image structure absorbed all main features of the artistic space of the city created in the text and to the motive complexes modelling the Thames semantics in the novel. Profound understanding of the image specificity allows seeing clearer the author's main artistic intentions and creative strategies.
