Авторские примечания в поэтике произведений А. С. Пушкина 1830-х годов

Abstract

The subject of our study is the author’s notes (comments) of A. S. Pushkin, found in his book and magazine publications of the 1830s, in which the author explains the historical and everyday realities peculiar to a certain period of development of Russian society. The author’s notes and comments of A. S. Pushkin are an important, but poorly studied category of the text poetics. Analysis and interpretation of Pushkin’s notes helps establish intercontextual ties of these works with the key events of Russian history, revealing Pushkin’s true attitude to them. Considering the poet’s high requirements to the interpretation of events, his clear dissatisfaction with obvious gaps in the interpretation of Russian history, we can subtext in his notes that significantly complements the romanticized idea of heroes and events. The commentary in Pushkin’s later works allows us to clarify some facts of Russian social life. The notes essentially contain an ironic assessment of the techniques peculiar to classicism, sentimentalism and romanticism, couched in the form of parody, which in turn the poet’s demanded of works of the 1830s.
