Abstract. The article deals with the novel of the American writer Dan Simmons "The Terror" in the light of the traditions of the American literature. The author reveals the transformation of the problems established in the American romantic prose of the XIX - the beginning of the XX century. The work studies the creative use and reinterpretation of the American classical literature heritage by Simmons, in particular, the social, moral-ethical and psychological problems posed in H. Melville’s novel "Moby-Dick", E. A. Poe’s stories and novels and J. London’s northern stories. D. Simmons’s innovation, as the research shows, represents the changes that took place in cultural and social reflection during the ХХ century.
