Abstract

The article tends to systematize basic approaches to the problem of investigating the specificity of Victorian heritage in Postmodern literary discourse. Comparative analysis of the most widespread functional definitions of the Neo-Victorian novel as a specific generic modification of a historiography metafiction is performed. The hierarchy of key terms is constructed based upon functional definitions of such notions as “Victoriana”, “post-Victorian novel” and “neoVictorian novel”.
