Abstract: The comparative historical method took shape in the last third of the 19th century. The paper is dedicated to the clarification of comparative historical method, its peculiar features and types. The works of well-known scientists associated with the development of the method as a science are discussed as well. Methods. The genesis of poetic thinking and style dates back to “psychological parallelism”. The similarity of conditions led to the similarity of “expression”, the selection of images in the literatures of remote regions differed significantly. In ancient literature remote from each other, two links corresponded to each other: “collective author” and “reality”. Results and discussions. A motive is an “indivisible unit of a plot,” for “the similarity is explained not by the genesis of one motive from another, but by the assumption of common motives, which are as obligatory for human creativity as language schemes for the expression of thoughts. In this sense, a fairy tale can be as much a reflection of a myth as sediment from an epic song or a folk book. At the same time, this is the basis for typological correspondences. Experiencing the world “apart” leads to the loss of synthesis. However, there is needed a common consciousness of vital synthesis i.e. multiple feedbacks in the chain of author - work - reader. Dialogue, comparison, juxtaposition are among the most general principles of culture and life. Conclusion. The principle of the equivalence of influence and perception is one of the most important ideas of modern comparative literary studies. More precisely, we talk about a single process of “impact-perception”. V.M. Zhirmunsky identified two types of comparisons such as historical-genetic and historically typological comparison. The two main mechanisms of reception can be denoted by the terms “re-construction” and “re-creation”. A text lives only when it comes into contact with another text (context). This point of contact of texts is the main subject of “comparative literary studies”. On the basis of any “comparison” and “juxtaposition” are the mechanisms of “identity” and “distinction”.
Key words: historical poetics, comparative literary criticism, comparison, repetition, impact, culture, genetic connection, psychological parallelism, motive, quality of relations between images, plot, dialogue, comparative studies, “ours and others”, reception, aspects of reception, spontaneous generation, typological correspondences, perceiving environment, intertextuality.
