Abstract:

This is the first major systematic account in Russian scholarship of a prominent phenomenon in European literary and cultural history usually referred to as “classicism,” designating both literary style and literary movement, which manifested itself all throughout Europe and has had immense impact on the whole complex of cultural practices and theories in the 17th and 18th centuries. The study consists of three parts, centering respectively on the main poetical categories of classicism, its fundamental genres, and national varieties. The purpose of this study is to examine the outcome of classicism by drawing on recent achievements in comparative studies and historical poetics, to inspire a more accurate approach for studying stylistic paradigms of the 17th- and 18th-century literature, to describe the cultural origins, the system of genres, poetics, and regional typology of classicisms, and also, by directing attention to concrete data, to note the specific presence of Russian literature in the pan-European context. The work is supplied with an annotated index of names.

Keywords: classicism, baroque, rococo, sentimentalism, poetics, genres, style, typology, comparative studies.
