metadata.value: This article discusses the problems we face while describing transition periods. I analyze various
  approaches to the phenomenon of transition and criteria used for their identification.
  I suggest that we should pay more attention to internal substance of transition process than
  the role of sociocultural factors or external features which reflect changes in literature. The
  problems are discussed using the texts by Dostoevsky, Garshin and Chekhov who represent
  in many respects transitional epoch of the late 19th century. Chronologically, their oeuvres
  belong to adjacent periods, and so it is possible to trace the changes as a process but not as a
  set of typological attributes. The comparative analysis is focused on the motive of response as
  the generalized literary technique, and differences in its use demonstrate transformations of
  various zones of the literary field — from author’s intention and reader’s reception to the techniques
  of the creation of narration. For all three Russian writers, the search of “new ways” and
  strategic decisions are connected with readers’ activity, although each of them understands it
  in his own way. Dostoevsky and Garshin believe that literature should recover social consensus,
  and the response plays the principal role here. For Chekhov, response ceased to be a goal.
  In his system, response is a constant critical defamiliarization of any point of view and gives
  way to a new type of social interaction. As a result, such features of transition as historical assessment
  and prognosis are fully expressed in Chekhov’s literary system.
