Abstract. The paper examines the epistolary genre conception proposed by the founder of Russian formalism V. B. Shklovsky in his monograph "Pro et Contra: Notes on Dostoevsky" (1957). Scientific originality of the study involves identifying correlation between development trends of epistolary prose in the XX century and principles of modernist poetics. The article analyzes and systematizes V. B. Shklovsky’s views on epistolary prose formulated more than three decades after the publication of the novel "Zoo, or Letters Not about Love". As a result, the researcher identifies approaches to analyzing epistolary prose development: interpretation of modern epistolary prose in the context of Enlightenment tradition; an outside view on personages and events; focusing on personages’ inner world rather than on storyline; focusing on epistolary protocol observed in literary letters; focusing on intertextuality and self-reference which are no less important than the story itself.
