ПЕРЕДУМОВИ ВИНИКНЕННЯ ІДІОСТИЛЮ ЕМІЛІ ДІКІНСОН

The object of this article is the idiostyle of Emily Dickinson, the subject is the basis on which it was created. The research material is the scientific works of domestic and foreign authors. The actual value of the work, in our opinion, lies in the constant interest of Ukrainian scientists towards the work of E. Dickinson, and the novelty lies in an attempt to systematize the existing views on the interconnection of significant events of her biography with the main themes of her work: God, death, love, friendship. The author of the article notes that Emily Dickinson is one of the most prominent and original American poets of all time, because she dared to question the postulates of poetry and poet, the requirements for poetic creativity and the components of the poetic gift. However, her grandeur was only reached in the 20th century. Her poems are full of allusions and chants from American and European literature, the Bible and the philosophical thought of those times. Analyzing a series of works by E. Dickinson, the author of the article cannot disagree with the researchers of the American Poetry Fund, namely that the style and form of her poems are very reminiscent of Christian hymns and ballads, which often contain lines written with three and four-footed iambic. Emily Dickinson used inaccurate rhymes in her works, often her texts are generally devoid of rhymes per se, sometimes approaching verse libre and sometimes white verse. She often violated even grammatical rules, and the semantic side of her works also proved to be exceptionally bold and original. After researching a number of papers on this topic, A.O. Ivakhnenko concludes that Emily Dickinson’s distinctive features of poetry emerged from three sources of influence, namely: the education she received; the religious exaltation of those times; the books of fiction she was familiar with.
