The author of the study, via historical and comparative literary criticism, analyses selected dramas by Eugene Gladstone O’Neill, and an experimental 2012-tweet short story Black Box by Jennifer Egan, to prove that O’Neill altered the ancient genre of tragedy, whereas in Egan’s short story, innovations affect all three functions of literature (affective, imitative and expressive). Thus, Egan’s alternations are so substantial that they significantly change the original genre and create a new one. O’Neill adapted morphological features of the genre of tragedy, and Egan expanded a traditional short story to a new medium that alters the spectator’s perception of the work of art. Research confirmed the evolution of literary genres as well as the emergence of new justifiable and legitimate genres. Public work category AEC No. of Archival Copy 51970 Catal.org.
