Genre as a concept appeared a long time ago, back in the ancient world. At the same time, a typology of genres appeared. Today, text typologies are more strict and have clear boundaries. Moreover, they are used in all spheres of life - in government activities, in professional fields, theater, medicine and even everyday life.

Genres in fiction are a particularly complex issue. As you know, all literary works, depending on the nature of what is depicted, belong to one of three categories: epic, lyric or drama .

EPOS(from the Greek “narration”) is a generalized name for works depicting events external to the author.

LYRICS(from the Greek “performed to the lyre”) is a generalized name for works in which there is no plot, but the feelings, thoughts, experiences of the author or his lyrical hero are depicted.

DRAMA(from the Greek “action”) - a generalized name for works intended for production on stage; The drama is dominated by character dialogues, and the author's input is kept to a minimum.

Genres are called variations of a type of literary work. For example, a genre variety of a story can be fantasy or historical story, and the genre variety of comedy is vaudeville etc. Strictly speaking, a literary genre is a historically established type of artistic work that contains certain structural features and aesthetic quality characteristic of a given group of works.
