Literature of the Inner Frontier

The contemporary novel is undergoing significant changes, one of which is a new balance of social and inner experience in which a marginal condition of a person is not described from the outside, but as internal speech, as the main element of the novel. The article points to the origins of this phenomenon in the classical culture, introducing the term “literature of inner frontier” and investigates the minimum conditions allowing to attribute a text to this literature. It is proved that this literature has focused on the productive models to describe the ultimate experience as everyday life, such as the tragedy Faust by Goethe, and represents a return to the origins of the novel as lower genre. It is shown that this type of frontier narrative, despite conflicting reviews from critics, changes the today literary process, creating a whole new way to image the inner world of man
