Derzhavin and his “Marble Bust”
This paper deals with Derzhavin’s autobiographical poetry as exemplified by his poem “My Bust”. A marble bust which Derzhavin had ordered for himself is a source of hope and self-doubt for his lyrical speaker. Does he actually deserve the honour represented by this sculpture and, if the answer is yes, on which grounds? Accordingly, the lyrical monologue turns into a sequence of sharply contrasting moods of confidence and self-deprecation, which i…
Derzhavin’s Poem
This paper approaches Derzhavin’s poem To Evgenii. Life at Zvanka from three angles: 1. Its relation to Horace’s II epode Beatus ille.... 2. The contrasting backdrop which is established in the first stanzas of the poem: the imperial court of Saint-Petersburg. 3. A further backdrop of this kind, which is implicit in the poem: a contemporary disdain for gentry landowners. In the light of Peter I’s reforms, their lifestyle was perceived as a backwa…
Derzhavin and the Return of the Victorious Tsar
This article is about Derzhavin’s ode on Alexander I’s return to Russia after his victory over Napoleon. It aims to shed light on the development of Derzhavin’s panegyric poetry and thereby also on the cult of the Russian emperor. One point deserves special attention: the sacralization of the tsar. I argue that in contrast to the tradition of Russian panegyrics, Derzhavin’s ode represents Alexander not only as a successful ruler and a military he…
Russia Triumphant
This paper deals with a variety of lyric poetry that was widely cultivated under Catherine II — the poetry of war. This poetry was written almost always as oc- casional court poetry; it flourished in the general context of festivities organized in celebration of the Russian successes in the numerous wars of the period. The analysis takes into account not only the main poets, but also the minor poets in order to receive a fuller picture of the per…
Praising the Ruler
It is difficult to overrate the importance of the panegyric tradition for early modern Russian literature. Between the middle of the 17th to the end of the 18th century, it was practiced in many different genres—almost all Russian poets praised the ruler. This poetry deserves our interest as a specific form of political literature. As such it is not only relevant for the cult of the Russian monarchs, but it also sheds some light on the political …
