Abstract
The article analyzes the scenes in the theatre presented in the novels “Petersburg Slums” by V.V. Krestovsky and “War and Peace” by L.N. Tolstoy. From the author’s point of view, the symbolic space of the theatre in these and other novels of the 19th century appears as a capacious model of society, and the strategies of depicting characters in that chronotope usually pursue socio-critical goals. The analysis of specific texts with reference to the concepts of social imaginary and social dramaturgy allows identifying the specifics of artistic modelling of sociality in the texts considered.
