| Research Abstract |
During the term of the project the following researches were done to elucidate the relationship between the development of Russian modern literature and epistolary culture in the 18^<th> century Russia.
(1) First I researched the epistolary culture in modern Russia.
The epistolary culture remarkably developed in the 18^<th> century : a great many academic articles in epistolary style and private letters were published.
(2) Secondly I analyzed Russian early epistolary novels and its authors.
The main subject of analysis was Fyodor Emin, whose work Letters of Ernest and Doravra is the first epistolary novel in Russia.
Through the researches mentioned above, we clarified that "method of epistolarity" had played a very important role in the developing process of Russian modern prose fiction.
