Abstract
The article is devoted to the study of the type of “a superfluous man”, “Russian Hamlet” in Russian literature. The role of I. S. Turgenev’s story “The Diary of a Superfluous Man” in the formation of the social-psychological complex of the Russian Hamletism is investigated. The reviews about the tragedy “Hamlet” and the story “The Diary of a Superfluous Man” by A. A. Grigoryev, a critic who was one of the first to note the connection between the image of Shakespeare’s Hamlet and the problem of the Russian Hamletism, are studied. These reviews are of particular importance in the context of the creative dialogue of the writer and critic about “superfluous men” and the Russian Hamletism in the early 1850s.
