description The reviewed collective monograph edited by S. Neklyudov and N. Petrov focuses on issues of the book epic, monuments of ancient and medieval genre in between folklore and literature; the oral tradition in them is refracted and transformed in the process of written fixation. The research of the book epic makes it possible to set and solve problems far beyond the scope of epic studies: the book raises issues related not only to the formation and features of one of the literary genres, but also to the emergence of literature as such, its socio-cultural role in different epochs, the relationship between tradition and individual authorship, the evolution of poetic technique, the ways and circumstances of cycling epic tales. This capital work appears to be a remarkable event in world science.
