Abstract:
Relevance. The basis of this research is a comparative study of mystical literature written by Kazakh and Englishspeaking writers.
Purpose. In this article, the artistic works of famous authors are considered from the point of view of analyzing the
features of the image of mystical motifs in them.
Methodology. In this research paper, comparative analysis of mystical motifs in Kazakh literature and artistic works
published in English-speaking countries were conducted. It is obvious that a new trend that began in the second half of
the XVIII century in England led to the widespread use of mystical elements by writers in literature, and it also began to
spread to other states, as well.
Results. The functions of mystical motifs in various fictions are revealed, and the ways of their creation are determined
in this work. Currently, there is a growing demand for mystical fictions, and interest in writing fictions with mystical
elements. Therefore, there are many scholars who investigated the issues related to the mysticism in English Literature.
Although Kazakh writers and poets started to use mystical elements in the structure of their fictions in 20th century only,
this trend could find its readers.
Conclusions. In their works, almost all the authors also lead and seduce their readers to the high ideals that they strive
for. At the same time, the mystical literature researchers have been trying to analyze various controversial views on this
matter, arising from the ambiguous nature of mysticism.
