THE CHARACTER OF TRANSFORMATION OF THE PUSHKIN ROMANTIC TRADITION IN TURGENEV’S WORKS

Abstract

The article considers the continuity of the Pushkin tradition in the work of Turgenev in the aspect of the artistic method – romanticism. The critics began to note a special type of Pushkin’s romanticism during his lifetime. A lot of research has been carried out from that time to the present moment, noting the similarity of ideas, motives, direct echoes of creativity. The researcher sets atask to summarize the researches, paying particular attention to the works of the 21st century, in order to make the most detailed conclusions about the nature of this tradition. The consideration of the issue of such tradition from the point of view of the method reveals the similarities / differences in the system of images of writers, in their styles, in the ratio of artistic, aesthetic worlds of their works. Having most fully revealed the nature of the differences, we can speak in detail about the degree of correlation. Turgenev embodies the romantic and aesthetic elements of Pushkin’s art world as elements of “pure art”, improving the artistic whole of his works and filling them with more and more different from Pushkin ideas, primarily from the point of view of the philosophy of the general life. The authors did not coincide in religious views. However, in the world of feelings and sensations, the idea of the presence of Nature in a human life, they largely coincide throughout all Turgenev’s works.
