Abstract
This paper deals with the peculiarities of Zhukovsky's late correspondence with his "German friends". In these letters, Zhukovsky addresses such topics as revolution, monarchy and his own "religious anxiety", as well as reflecting on his translation of Homer. These French- written "German letters", which illustrate Zhukovsky's unprecedented mastering of the multilingual dimensions of Russian epistolary culture, also served as a laboratory for perfecting the poet's style and his "poetry of thought". Finally, the poetics of his epistolary texts reflects Zhukovsky's credo "live the way you write", and helps to shape his Romantic self.
