Russian poets of the early 19th century. Poetry and dramaturgy of the late 19th century

That intensification of the romantic beginning, which we have already noted in prose, also manifested itself in poetry. It is no coincidence that in the poetic heritage of this period, the civic direction, based on the traditions of freedom-loving lyrics, remained the leading one. The greatest artistic achievements in line with this direction are associated with the names of A. N. Pleshcheev, A. M. Zhemchuzhnikov, L. N. Trefolev, S. D. Drozhzhin.

The poems of S. Ya. Nadson (1862-1887), who spent his childhood in Kyiv, were widely known among democratically minded youth. Many of them are fanned by a romantic hope for the coming triumph of the ideals of goodness and justice:

Let the holy ideal be broken and desecrated And innocent blood flow, Believe: the time will come - and Baal will perish, And love will return to earth!

As for drama, in its development it always correlates with the state of prose (to a lesser extent, poetry), sometimes overtaking it, sometimes lagging behind. This process is typical for the entire XIX century. and it is explained, in particular, by the fact that our greatest prose writers were often dramatists at the same time (suffice it to mention the names of Turgenev, Leskov, Leo Tolstoy, Chekhov). Only one Ostrovsky devoted himself, as you know, exclusively to dramaturgy, but it was he who had the greatest influence on Russian theatrical art.

After the death of Ostrovsky (1886), the situation in the Russian theater deteriorated. True, the playwright had numerous imitators who strove to continue to develop the images and motifs bequeathed by their great predecessor. Some plays could even enjoy temporary success, but this so-called mass drama-turgy could not create anything that would open a new page in the history of the Russian theater.

A new word was said by Chekhov. Taking into account, of course, the existing traditions associated mainly with the names of Turgenev and Ostrovsky, Chekhov creates his own theater, guided by the new principles of dramatic art. We will talk more specifically about Chekhov's work in the section devoted to him, but here we only note that further development not only Russian, but also world dramaturgy will go under the sign of Chekhov's artistic discoveries. material from the site

Russian literature of the last third of the 19th century. strove to artistically capture and recreate all the diversity of life phenomena in their individual originality, socio-historical and psychological complexity. In the novels of Turgenev, L. Tolstoy, Dostoevsky, the satires of Saltykov-Shchedrin, essays by Uspensky, dramas by Ostrovsky, novellas and short stories by Leskov, Garshin, Chekhov, Korolenko, the main issues of the era, new conflicts were reflected with exceptional depth and artistic perfection. , types and characters, the most important ideological, moral, aesthetic problems posed by time. This also explains the growth of world recognition of Russian literature, which was especially clearly manifested in the last third of the 19th century.

The Golden Age of Russian Poetry At the beginning of the 19th century, both classicism and sentimentalism coexist on equal terms in Russian poetry. But in the wake of the national-patriotic upsurge caused by Patriotic War 1812, Russian romanticism is born, and then realism. romanticismrealism


Great start. At the origins of Russian romanticism was V.A. Zhukovsky. He wrote elegies, messages, songs, ballads, ballads. According to Belinsky, he "enriched Russian poetry with deeply moral, truly human content." PushkinPushkin considered himself a student of Zhukovsky, highly appreciated "the captivating sweetness of his poetry."






civic passion. VC. Kuchelbecker Russian Decembrist poet, critic, translator. He studied at the Tsarskoye Selo Lyceum, where he began his friendship with A.S. Pushkin, A.A. Delvig. The romantic poetry of Küchelbecker sang of freedom. The poet was worried about the fate of the Fatherland.


To F. Ryleev K. F. Ryleev, the most prominent poet - K. F. Ryleev, the most prominent poet - Decembrist, wrote accusatory Decembrists, wrote accusatory and civil odes, political and civil odes, political elegies and messages, thoughts, poems. elegies and messages, thoughts, poems. He saw poetry as a means of fighting for political freedom. The Decembrists started talking about the national character of literature, put forward the demand for nationality, extending it to themes, genres, and language.




Pleiades stars. A.A. Delvig The heroes of his songs are simple fellows and girls who suffer at will and happy love. N. M. Yazykov expressed the protest of free youth in elegies, songs, hymns. He glorified the heroic scope of forces, the enjoyment of youth and health.


P.A. Vyazemsky contributed to the fusion of civil and personal themes, explaining elegiac feelings by social causes. E.A. Baratynsky is the largest poet of Russian romanticism, the author of elegies, epistles, poems. Instead of illusions, he prefers calm and sober reflection. His poems are filled with philosophical meaning.


High Duma power M.Yu. Lermontov The poetic era, which Lermontov became the spokesman for, according to Belinsky, is distinguished by "disbelief in life and human feelings, with thirst and an excess of feelings." The lyrical hero openly opposes the hostile outside world.




Gifts of Life After Pushkin and Lermontov, original talents appear in Russian poetry - A. Pleshcheev, N. Ogaryov, Ap. Grigoriev, I am Polonsky, A. Tolstoy, I. Turgenev, A Maikov, N. Nekrasov. With their poetry they made the transition to realism. Their poems are imbued with sympathy for the poor man. Lyrical hero often a person becomes from the nobility or raznochintsy, who has risen to the defense of the people, the peasants.


genres of romanticism. elegy - a poem middle length, usually sad content, imbued with sadness. Elegy Ballad A ballad is a poem, which is most often based on historical event, folk legend with a tense plot Fable A fable is a short moralizing poetic or prose story, to which there is an allegory, allegory.

In the second half of the 19th century, there was a surge of Russian lyric poetry. Only the listing of the most famous names of poets says a lot - Apollon Nikolaevich Maikov (1821-1897), Apollon Alexandrovich Grigoriev (1882-1864), Yakov Petrovich Polonsky (1819-1898), Ivan Savich Nikitin (1824-1861), Alexei Nikolaevich Apukhtin ( 1840-1893), Konstantin Konstantinovich Sluchevsky (1837-1904), Semyon Yakovlevich Nadson (1862-1887), Konstantin Mikhailovich Fofanov (1862-1911), Fedor Ivanovich Tyutchev (1803-1873), Alexei Konstantinovich Tolstoy (1817-1875), Afanasy Afanasyevich Fet (1820-1892), Nikolai Alekseevich Nekrasov (1821-1877/78).

Unfortunately, the triumph of poetry was short-lived. In Russian literature, prose is developing, especially large epic forms. The triumph of prose turned out to be more durable and is associated with the names of I. Turgenev, F. Dostoevsky, L. Tolstoy. And yet the poetry of the second half XIX century had huge role in the development of Russian literature and culture in general. Poetry was a multifaceted system in which there were various forms of manifestation of the lyrical "I". To understand this "I", and the reader must have an open heart and soul. N.V. Gogol noted: “Reading a lyrical work properly is not a trifle at all.”

It is important to remember that poetry developed in two directions - Pushkin's and Gogol's. Romantics of the 19th century (especially A.S. Pushkin) proclaimed its independence from the authorities and the people, considered the poet a creator who was inspired by God. The program for them was a poem by A.S. Pushkin "The Poet and the Crowd". The slogan is the final words "Not for worldly excitement, / Not for self-interest, not for battles, / We were born for inspiration, / For sweet sounds and prayers." The ideas of the Romantics of the beginning of the century were picked up by the Romantics of the second half of the 19th century and substantiated the theory of "pure art". The main provisions of "pure art" can be formulated as follows: art should not depict reality, play public role. The purpose of art is to create beautiful, i.e. poetic world. Art should exist for the elite.

The opposite point of view on the art of the civil direction was substantiated by N.V. Gogol in the poem Dead Souls(beginning of the seventh chapter). He compared the creator of "art for art's sake" and the writer-denunciator. The principles of the “civilian” direction in the poetry of the second half of the 19th century are most consistently and vividly implemented in the poetry of N.A. Nekrasov.

Gogol proclaimed and embodied the idea that poetry should serve the people. Nekrasov made the peasant the main character of poetry, and the struggle for his happiness - the pathos of his work. The ideas of "pure art" are the basis of the worldview and artistic system of A.A. Feta. From the point of view of the history of poetry, the Pushkin and Gogol trends enriched the literature, culture, poetry of the 19th century and prepared many phenomena cultural life Russia.

The poets of the second half of the 19th century turned out to be receptive to life, to the spiritual atmosphere of Russian society. They continued and developed the traditions of the Russian poetic school of the 18th - early 19th centuries. At the same time, poets were looking for a new poetic language, original forms of its expression. They were concerned about issues of national identity; ratio of good and evil; death and immortality; spiritual generosity of people. A feature of Russian poetry of the 19th century is the magic of sound and words. I. Nikitin conveys the subtlest shades of color, form and sound. Intensively developing landscape lyrics(A. Maykov, "Landscape"; I. Koltsov, "South and North"; K. Sluchevsky, "Oh, don't scold me because I lived aimlessly ...", etc.).

Song character, folklore, Russian antiquity, the beauties of domestic nature, the originality of the Russian national character became the source of Russian poetry. Alexander Blok called A. Grigoriev's poem "The Gypsy Hungarian Woman" "the only pearls of its kind in Russian poetry." The "guitar" nature of the poem, set to music, made it a popular romance. Many poems by Y. Polonsky, "The Song of a Gypsy" (arranged to music by P.I. Tchaikovsky) became romances and folk songs. Famous romances were A. Apukhtin's poems, set to music, "A Pair of Bays", "Crazy Nights, Sleepless Nights ..."; S.Ya. Nadson "In the shadow of a pensive garden...".

In the second half of the 19th century, Russian poetry gradually moved towards modernism. Such was the movement in world literature, especially in French poetry. Baudelaire, Rimbaud, Verlaine - the French symbolists were contemporaries of N. Nekrasov, late A.A. Fet, V. Solovyov. The harbingers of modernism in Russia were primarily F.I. Tyutchev, A.A. Fet.

As the researcher V.S. Babaevsky: "Russian poetry XIX century, as a whole, with all the structural and chronological diversity, the phenomenon of the spirit of the people, does not fit strictly into the boundaries of the century. The last decade, the 1890s, already belongs in its essence to modernism. We can say that for Russian poetry the 20th century began in 1892. Poetry K.M. Fofanova and S.Ya. Nadson connected two centuries of Russian poetry “golden” and “silver”.

Introduction
In the history of the thousand-year-old culture of Russia, the 19th century is called the "Golden Age" of Russian poetry and the century of Russian literature on a global scale. It was the rise of the Spirit, a cultural upsurge that can rightly be considered the great Russian Renaissance.
The 19th century fully expressed the synthesizing, philosophical-moral, conciliar-collective character of Russian culture, its patriotic-ideological character, without which it loses its ground and destiny. It manifests itself everywhere - from universal-cosmic quests to almost practical "instructions" for answering the age-old Russian questions: "Why? Who is to blame? What to do? And who are the judges?"
Literature in the 19th century is the most influential form national culture. This is the time when its largest representatives created, who gave spiritual food to two centuries of all mankind! So, Paul Valery called the Russian literature of the 19th century one of the three greatest wonders of human culture.
Poets A.S. Pushkin, V.A. Zhukovsky, K.N. Batyushkov, D.V. Davydov, F.N. Glinka, P.A. Katenin, V.F. Raevsky, K.F. .A. Bestuzhev, V.K.Kyukhelbeker, A.I. Odoevsky, P.A. Vyazemsky, A.A. .Venevitinov and others. Their poetry left a noticeable mark in Russian literature.
Thus, this topic is still quite relevant today.

1. Golden age of Russian poetry: general characteristics
Russian literature of the nineteenth century, which continues to "work" to this day, has become poetry.
The beginning of the "Golden Age" can be called 1808, because already in some of the first mature works of Zhukovsky, the individual intonation, so characteristic of poetry that has become "higher", is very clearly visible. In the early 1920s, Byron's influence was noticeable, and such a form of expression as a poetic story became popular.
What was the peculiarity of the Russian "golden age"?
Firstly, the breadth and grandeur of the tasks set for ourselves. Secondly, the high tragic tension of poetry and prose, their prophetic effort. Thirdly, the inimitable perfection of form.
Another feature of the "golden age": the tragic, prophetic tension of poetry and prose - even stronger than Alexander Pushkin himself, is expressed by his direct heirs. The poems of this time are very original, in contrast to what earlier previous eras borrowed more.
Most of what was written by our classics in the 19th century has long become a literary reader. Today it is impossible to imagine a person who would not know and read such a cult novel in Pushkin's verses as "Eugene Onegin" or Lermontov's great poems "Demon" and "Mtsyri". Dozens of poems memorized from the school bench still evoke feelings of warmth and joy in our hearts, these poems, just like many years ago, continue to breathe and live in our souls. They continue to warm us, give us hope, help us not to lose heart; they are always ready to be our guiding light.
