Abstract. The paper aims to examine worldview structure in the gothic story "Corstophine" by E. F. Benson. Scientific originality of the study lies in the fact that E. F. Benson’s literary heritage is still poorly investigated and his gothic stories have not previously attracted researchers’ attention. The findings indicate that in the analysed story, worldview is formed by three external chronotopes and by an internal chronotope centred on the main character’s consciousness. Chronotope system includes spatial categories of near and distant, closed and open, infernal left and sacral right, alive and dead, the top and the bottom. The key temporal categories are daytime and night-time, temporal and eternal, the past and the future.
Key words and phrases: готический рассказ, картина мира, хронотоп, Э. Ф. Бенсон, gothic story, worldview, chronotope, E. F. Benson
