Abstract

The review of the book by M.V. Skorokhodov “The manor in Russian literature of the late 19 — first third of the 20th century: An interdisciplinary approach” (Moscow, 2020) is presented. The review analyzes M.V. Skorokhodov’s attempt to describe and study the phenomenon of the Russian estate based on the works of S.A. Yesenin, N.A. Klyuev, I.S. Shmelev, B.K. Zaitsev, etc. To solve this problem, the author applies an interdisciplinary approach that allows to involve the terminological apparatus of art history and geography. For the first time, the author defined and formulated the mission of the literary museum.
