The article traces the history of methodological searches for an effective research strategy for the problem of the interaction of folklore and literature as a special branch of Russian literary studies and folklore studies. The relevance of the stated topic is due to the lack of a sufficient number of theoretical works, based on modern material, as well as the need for conceptual synthesis of classical approaches to the study of literary folklore and new methods, used today in philological science. At the same time, the author gives the idea of the need for an individual approach to the interpretation of a separate author's text so that in the process of comprehension in the system of methodological coordinates do not lose the most valuable thing – the uniqueness of the artist and his creation.
