Absract. Through comparative and content analysis, the article discusses the ways in which Byron's poem "Don Juan" is presented in the new textbooks for ninth grade. Numerous explanations and references, as well as the unusual for the myth of Don Juan choice of the obligatory for study of Chapter VIII, require from the authors of the textbooks very careful handling of the scientific and didacticmethodical apparatus. When an approach in accordance with the literary experience of ninth-graders is not chosen, the study articles have a low informative value. The known discrepancies in the analyzed motives make it difficult to compile tests that can be correctly solved by students using different textbooks. In some cases the tasks from the methodical part do not create skills for independent learning, but require repetition of what is written in the theoretical part. Textbooks fail to realize interdisciplinary connections.
