Abstract. The purpose of the research is to classify quasi-realia found in the late novels of W. Morris, the founder of the fantasy genre, using E. M. Bozhko’s works. The paper considers the definition of quasi-realia, identifies the mechanism of its functioning in the aspect of translation, compares each case where quasi-realia are used by the author with their rendering in the Russian translation. Scientific originality of the research lies in conducting a comprehensive analysis of quasi-realia found in William Morris’s late novels. Idionyms and polyonyms of the second and third order were found, the presence of xenonyms was not detected. It was shown that quasi-realia participate in the author’s creation of an archaised style, although they do not constitute its main feature. As a result of the research, all identified cases of quasi-realia have been given, their detailed classification has been carried out, the features of their functioning in the style of William Morris’s late novels have been described.
