. Quite a lot of works by foreign scientists are devoted to the study of the Gothic novel as a whole. The scientific base on «Gothic» is enormous. But we will indicate here the most important and significant works on the analysis of this genre. In English-language Gothic studies, these are the works of Edith Burkhead, Elizabeth McAndrew, Devendra Varma, David Panther, and Montague Summers. Two of the most relevant works are especially worth noting - a collection of articles edited by Fred Botting «Gothic» in 4 volumes, reflecting the evolution of the genre frоm its origins to the present day, and the Cambridge collection of articles «The Cambridge Companion to Gothic Fiction». The problem of studying the Gothic novel was investigated by such linguists as Elistratova A.A., Zharinov E.V., Bayer-Berenbaum L., Reitblat A. I., Bredvold L. However, the system of images of the «Gothic» novel and its specificity based on the material of Horace Walpole's work is not sufficiently covered both abroad and in Russia. Multiple studies were carried out on the creativity of H. Walpole, but the novel «Castle of Otranto» was not touched upon in the studies. Thus, the stated research topic is timely and relevant; through the analysis of these novels, a new point of view will appear in the research system. The purpose of the research is a theoretical and practical study of the lexical and stylistic features of the Gothic novel based on the work of Horace Walpole «Castle of Otranto». To achieve this goal, the following tasks should be solved: 1. To study the concept of Gothic; 2. Reveal the lexical and stylistic features and properties of the Gothic novel; 3. Determine the features of American «Gothic»; 4. To present the lexical and stylistic features of the novel «Castle of Otranto». The object of the study - this study is lexical and stylistic means. The subject of the study is the process of studying the lexical and stylistic features of the Gothic novel based on the work of Horace Walpole «The Castle of Otranto». The scientific novelty of the research lies in the fact that, despite the rather high level of study of Horace Walpole's work both in our country and abroad, this work is the first attempt in domestic and foreign criticism to attempt a holistic analysis of the «Gothic» work of H. Walpole, where a special attention is directed to aspects that until now have not become the subject of separate scientific developments. The paper compares the ethical, philosophical, psychological and theoretical foundations of Horace Walpole's work with the foundations of the «Gothic» school, which allows us to consider the novelist's work in a new perspective and determine the features of intertextual dialogue with the previous literary tradition. This made it possible to propose new author's interpretations of heroes, whose prototypes are gothic heroes-villains and romantic wanderers cut off frоm society, to connect the space-time structure of Horace Walpole's novels with the chronotope of the Gothic novel. This interpretation allows a deeper study of the key ideas for these writers of freedom, personal choice and responsibility, a person's search for his true essence. The practical significance of the study lies in the fact that its conclusions and factual material can be used in the preparation of courses in the history of cultural studies, in writing term papers, in journalism and translation work. Research methods: structural semantic analysis and context analysis. The theoretical and methodological basis of the work is the works of M.M. Bakhtin, Yu.M. Lotman, I.P. Ilyin, N.B. Mankovskaya, as well as foreign scientists J. Hazinga, I. Hassan, M. Bradbury, U. Eco, R. Barth, Y. Kristevoy, J. F. Lyotard. The analysis is also based on the works of researchers in which the features of the genre of the Gothic novel are investigated - N.A. Solovieva, M.M. Ladygin, V.A.Lukov, I.V. Vershinin, as well as monographs dedicated to the originality of the work of John Fowles and Iris Murdoch of such authors as P. Conradi, F. Baldanza, E. Dipl, S. Loveday, S. Onega, W. Palmer, P. Wolf, R. Rabinovich, as well as A. P. Sarukhanyan, V. V. Ivasheva , N.I. Reingold, N.A. Solovieva, N.G. Vladimirova and N.A. Malishevskaya. Structure of the work: the work consists of an introduction, three chapters, a conclusion and a list of used literature. The research material is the novel by Horace Walpole «Castle of Otranto».
