Abstract. The study aims to identify the features and conceptualisation of the “blonde/brunette” binary opposition in the literary text of French Romanticism using the example of G. de Staël’s novel “Corinne, or Italy” (1807). The paper examines the “blonde/brunette” binary opposition in the creative work of a XIX-century French writer. Despite the fact that there are studies addressing various types of binaries, the creative work of French romanticists, who formed the basis of different mythological oppositions, has not become the object of special analysis, and the blondes/brunettes opposition has not been highlighted in the literary text, which accounts for the scientific originality of the presented paper. As a result of the analysis, it can be concluded that G. de Staël forms the basis of the stereotypical perception of blondes and brunettes in literature at the compositional level within the system of characters, at the universal level - within the boundaries of the national character. At the ideological level of physical/psychological images, the blonde/brunette types became entrenched in literature as a binary opposition, which served as an example for the next generation of writers.
Key words and phrases: ранний французский романтизм, Ж. де Сталь, бинарная оппозиция «блондинка/брюнетка», мифологизация, early French Romanticism, G. de Staël, binary opposition “blonde/brunette”, mythologisation
