Abstract

Within the Memory Studies research area the use of the philological approach occupies a lacuna position due to the actual absence of analytical works devoted to this issue, which determines the relevance of the study in question as well as its theoretical and scientific-practical significance. The purpose of the investigation is to establish the validity of the philological analysis methods application to the study of literary works in terms of its results expansion into the Memory Studies research field, with special attention to the social and historical significance of events that serve as an impetus for artistic text creation. The methodological basis of the research deals with complex approach to the analysis of the artistic text, which includes the use of methods obtained as the result of philological knowledge development as referred to vertical and global philological context issues. This concerns creative techniques and strategies implementation, as well as the process of penetration into socio-historical and worldview phenomena, characteristic of the given historical period, along with a certain literary tradition. In the course of the investigation we may come to the conclusion that the philological basis of the work by William Shakespeare under consideration is an allegory containing a large number of social and historical implications. The results obtained enable the researcher to use them both as the stimulus for further philological studies as well as the basis for the investigation within the Memory studies research field.
