Description
Summary:This article is an attempt to reconstruct the semantic structure of the incoherent—and even absurdist—text of Konstantin Batyushkov’s poem “Podrazhanie Goratsiiu” (1852). Written by a demented poet, this text seems to lack any logic, yet it has a logic of its own (although the poem’s plane of expression is different from what we expect from a 19th-century poet). Keywords Russian 19th-Century Literature, Konstantin Batyushkov (1787—1855), “Exegi Monumentum,” Madness, Close Reading.
