Народная песенная традиция в поэзии пушкинской поры

Abstract

The aim of the study is to trace the development of the folk song tradition in the lyric of poets of the Pushkinian era. Scientific novelty of the study lies in identifying the “collective emotionality” (A. N. Veselovsky’s term) in the poetic works of poets of the Pushkinian era. Folk songs reflected people’s lives, including the personality of their performers. As a result, it has been proved that in the lyric of poets of the Pushkinian era, the “collective emotionality” of folk songs found its expression in the constants of national consciousness - the memory of death, love of life, friendship, in literary devices (psychological parallelism, gradual narrowing of images) borrowed from folklore.
