STYLISTIC ANALYSIS OF RAY BRADBERY’S POEM ‘THEY HAVE NOT SEEN THE STARS’

Abstract

The article focuses on Ray Bradbury’s most recent works that have so far been neglected by contemporary scholars. Having analyzed academic works by overseas and domestic specialists, we have identified the aspects of Ray Bradbury’s literary art that require investigation. The relevance of the topic lies in the fact that contemporary literary studies only offer a very general description or an overview of the literary legacy of the aforementioned writer. The stylistic analysis of his poetry is almost unavailable, and only separate poetic works have been translated into Ukrainian. Modern scholars focus on particular aspects of his art. Unfortunately, there is almost no stylistic analysis of R. Bradbury’s poetic works, particularly those poetic works that have been chosen for analysis in this article. We have attempted to offer a comprehensive analysis the author’s separate poetic works which will make it possible to build a general idea of the stylistic peculiarities of Ray Bradbury’s art as his individual style.
