GOLDEN AGE OF RUSSIAN LITERATURE Completed by: Ovchinnikova D. Group: 3 L/D

The 19th century is called the "Golden Age" of Russian poetry and the century of Russian literature on a global scale. It should not be forgotten that the literary leap that took place in the 19th century was prepared by the entire course of the literary process of the 17th and 18th centuries. The 19th century is the time of the formation of the Russian literary language, which took shape largely thanks to A.S. Pushkin.

PUSHKIN Alexander Sergeevich (1799 - 1837), poet, prose writer, playwright, publicist, critic, founder of new Russian literature, creator of the Russian literary language. Brought up by French tutors, from home schooling he took out only an excellent knowledge of French and a love of reading. As a child, Pushkin became acquainted with Russian poetry from Lomonosov to Zhukovsky, with the comedies of Molière and Beaumarchais, the works of Voltaire and other enlighteners of the 18th century.

A. S. Pushkin began his ascent to the literary Olympus with the poem "Ruslan and Lyudmila" in 1920. And his novel in verse "Eugene Onegin" was called an encyclopedia of Russian life. Romantic poems by A. S. Pushkin "The Bronze Horseman" (1833), "The Fountain of Bakhchisaray", "Gypsies" opened the era of Russian romanticism. Many poets and writers considered A. S. Pushkin their teacher and continued the traditions of creating literary works laid down by him. One of these poets was M. Yu. Lermontov. Known for his romantic poem "Mtsyri", the poetic story "The Demon", many romantic poems. It is interesting that Russian poetry of the 19th century was closely connected with the social and political life of the country.

NV Gogol Along with poetry, prose began to develop. The prose writers of the beginning of the century were influenced by the English historical novels of W. Scott, whose translations were very popular. The development of Russian prose of the 19th century began with the prose works of A. S. Pushkin and N. V. Gogol. Pushkin, under the influence of English historical novels, creates the story The Captain's Daughter, where the action takes place against the backdrop of grandiose historical events: during the time of the Pugachev rebellion. A. S. Pushkin did a colossal job, exploring this historical period. This work was largely political in nature and was directed to those in power.

Since the middle of the 19th century, the formation of Russian realistic literature has been taking place, which is being created against the background of the tense socio-political situation that developed in Russia during the reign of Nicholas I. A crisis in the serf system is brewing, and contradictions between the authorities and the common people are strong. There is a need to create a realistic literature that sharply reacts to the socio-political situation in the country.

Writers turn to the socio-political problems of Russian reality. The genre of the realistic novel is developing. I. S. Turgenev, F. M. Dostoevsky, L. N. Tolstoy, I. A. Goncharov create their own works. Socio-political and philosophical problems prevail. Literature is distinguished by a special psychologism.

A. P. Chekhov M. Gorky The literary process of the late 19th century discovered the names of N. S. Leskov, A. N. Ostrovsky A. P. Chekhov. The latter proved to be a master of a small literary genre - a story, as well as an excellent playwright. A.P. Chekhov's competitor was Maxim Gorky.

The end of the 19th century was marked by the formation of pre-revolutionary sentiments. The realist tradition was beginning to fade. It was replaced by the so-called decadent literature, the hallmarks of which were mysticism, religiosity, as well as a premonition of changes in the socio-political life of the country. Subsequently, decadence grew into symbolism. This opens a new page in the history of Russian literature.
