Abstract
Basing on the material of the “Diary” Samuel Maskievič, the article deals with the modes of presentation of the emotion as an essential sign of the author’s subjectivity in Belarusian literature of the first part of the 17th century. Emotionality is considering as the marker of an art and aesthetic level of the work. Specific textual manifestation of the emotionality in its explicit and implicit forms has been demonstrated, as well as its role in exposing of psychological situations, in coloured descriptions of exotic customs, and in its estimation by the author, too. The specific features of the author and of his work in Belarusian memoir literature of the period are defined.
