Современная женская поэзия Петербурга: творчество Т. С. Царьковой

Abstract

The aim of the study is to identify the themes, techniques, features and sociocultural significance of T. S. Tsarkova’s poetry. Several determining factors have been established for the analysis of T. S. Tsarkova’s creative work: this is a woman poet, a poet from St. Petersburg, a poet-philologist (not only by training, but also by profession). The paper is novel in that it is the first to introduce into scientific use previously unexplored materials, i.e. T. S. Tsarkova’s poems demonstrating a harmonious combination of the traditions of St. Petersburg poetry and the motifs of female lyric poetry. It was shown that the author’s poetic system is distinguished by a wide range of themes concerning timeless and topical issues, as well as the variation of stylistic registers. As a result, the main themes of T. S. Tsarkova’s poetic works were highlighted and characterised: lyric poetry related to purely women’s themes; philosophical lyrics; poems imbued with St. Petersburg themes; poems that emotionally capture the events of the era contemporary to the poet.
