Sensibility In The Frosty North Russian Enlightenment and Sentimentalism
The authors of Russian Sentimentalism associated sensibility with the specifics of Russian national character, national history and the organization of Russian society. First of all, they felt impelled to disprove contemporary stereotypes of Russian man as deprived of feeling. Secondly, they considered themselves agents of Peter the Greaťs reforms and saw the spread of sensibility as part of the Enlightenment of Russia. Furthermore, they asserted that sensibility, and not noble birth, should be the basis for social recognition: the authors of Russian Sentimentalism understood Peter's meritocratic ideals in the spirit of a sentimental utopianism. Moreover, they linked the spread of sensibility in Russia with the idea that Russian culture was still in its primary stage: Russian literature appeared as the result of the Enlightenment of feeling. Therefore, Sentimental authors thought of themselves as Russia's first true poets. Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
