Background. In recent decades Russian and foreign specialists in literature studies have shown a significant interest in the analysis of intermedial interactions in fiction. A great number of controversial theoretic questions still remain unresolved. The aim of our investigation is to study the phenomenon of art interactions in modernist literature, to single out certain types of intermedial interactions and to analyze several examples of such found in the short stories written by Virginia Woolf, an English writer and ideological leader of modernism.
Materials and methods. This article dwells upon intermedial interactions at a level of form, that is adoption of peculiar properties of genre and composition as well as means of artistic expression of other arts, such as music, painting, cinema and theatre, found in Virginia Woolf’s short stories («An Unwritten Novel», «A Haunted House», «The Searchlight », «Monday or Tuesday»).
Conclusions. In order to put into practice her artistic method and achieve her objectives that were to recreate human’s inner world, peculiarities of consciousness, process of thinking, functioning of memory as well as to reflect human’s complex perception of the outworld, Virginia Woolf carried out trailblazing experiments with form, technique and artistical devices, tried possibilities of intermedial interactions means of which became an important trait of her artistic method.
