  • The Transformation of Pushkin's Eugene Onegin Into Tchaikovsky's Opera
    THE TRANSFORMATION OF PUSHKIN'S EUGENE ONEGIN INTO TCHAIKOVSKY'S OPERA Molly C. Doran A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF MUSIC August 2012 Committee: Eftychia Papanikolaou, Advisor Megan Rancier © 2012 Molly Doran All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Eftychia Papanikolaou, Advisor Since receiving its first performance in 1879, Pyotr Il’yich Tchaikovsky’s fifth opera, Eugene Onegin (1877-1878), has garnered much attention from both music scholars and prominent figures in Russian literature. Despite its largely enthusiastic reception in musical circles, it almost immediately became the target of negative criticism by Russian authors who viewed the opera as a trivial and overly romanticized embarrassment to Pushkin’s novel. Criticism of the opera often revolves around the fact that the novel’s most significant feature—its self-conscious narrator—does not exist in the opera, thus completely changing one of the story’s defining attributes. Scholarship in defense of the opera began to appear in abundance during the 1990s with the work of Alexander Poznansky, Caryl Emerson, Byron Nelson, and Richard Taruskin. These authors have all sought to demonstrate that the opera stands as more than a work of overly personalized emotionalism. In my thesis I review the relationship between the novel and the opera in greater depth by explaining what distinguishes the two works from each other, but also by looking further into the argument that Tchaikovsky’s music represents the novel well by cleverly incorporating ironic elements as a means of capturing the literary narrator’s sardonic voice.

  • Three Poems on the Death of Pushkin
    STEPHANIE SANDLER THE LAW, THE BODY, AND THE BOOK: THREE POEMS ON THE DEATH OF PUSHKIN ... the Cheated Eye Shuts Arrogantly-in the Grave- Another way-to See- Emily Dickinson No fact of Alexander Pushkin's life or work was so important in constructing modern mythologies of Pushkin as his death. As a preliminary effort toward understanding those modern myths, I propose here to consider three nineteenth-century poems on Pushkin's death, all written soon thereafter. Mikhail Lermontov's "Smert' poeta" ("The Death of the Poet," 1837) de- fined Pushkin's death as an act of social violence and created a powerful discourse about Pushkin's death based on moral judgment. His definition itself constituted a symbolic act in Russian political and cultural life: "Smert' poeta" attained great authority for succeeding generations' writings about Pushkin's death and about the political context of his life. Less well-known accounts by Vasilii Zhukovskii and Countess Evdokiia Rostopchina will show more personal and strictly historical responses, foreshadowing the unorthodox responses of some of Pushkin's later readers. At the time of his death in a duel in 1837, Alexander Pushkin was admired as Russia's great national poet. Though his fame had declined during the 1830s, crowds who waited for news of the dying poet revealed how much Pushkin was loved and how pro- found was Russia's loss. The transformation of the death into tributes to his greatness began at once,l and Lermontov's "Smert' 1. For a survey of nineteenth-century poems about Pushkin, see R. V.

  • Levan Bregadze the Markers of Nikoloz Baratashvili's
    Levan Bregadze The Markers of Nikoloz Baratashvili’s Romanticism Abstract: It is discussed N. Baratashvili’s romanticism in close connection with the worldview of one of the most prominent creators and thinkers, “foremost” romanticist Novalis; on the basis of Novalis’ perception of the life romanticizing, using the technical means of polarization and potentiation it is studied how in the Nikoloz Baratashvili’s creative works the relationship with the universe, people, everyday occurrences is romanticized, the goal of which is to make the life intensive, full-blooded, to open its way towards infinity. Key words: Baratashvili, Novalis, romanticism, polarization, potentiation. Most of the writer-romanticists lived short lives: Edgar Allan Poe lived 40 years on this earth, Giacomo Leopardi and Juliusz Słowacki died at their 39th years of age, Charlotte Brontë passed away at the age of 38, Robert Burns and Alexander Pushkin diedat 37, George Gordon Byron – 36, José María Heredia – 35, Heinrich von Kleist, José de Espronceda and Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer – 34, Wilhelm Müller – 33, Percy Bysshe Shelley and Emily Brontë -30, Novalis, Anne Brontë and Branko Radičević – 29, Nikoloz Baratashvili – 27, Mikhail Lermontov, Sándor Petőfi, Karel Hynek Mácha and Karoline von Günderrode – 26, John Keats, Wilhelm Hauff and Wilhelm Heinrich Wackenroder – 25... and yet, in the short time of their lives, they created the literature of such a quality that they will remain in the memory of mankind forever; some of them marked the history of literature so profoundly that they still influence and will continue to influence in future the spiritual formation of people. How did they manage that? What explanation can be found? The answer to this conundrumhas to be found in their philosophy of life, in the philosophy of romantic life.

Pushkin, Lermontov, and the Ethics of Appropriation Fall 2010 CL 2321, Wed 2.30-5.25 Jonathan Platt [email protected] Office: CL 1421A, phone: 412-624-5714 Hours: Mon 3.00-5.00 or by appt. While this course provides a useful survey of the major works of Alexander Pushkin and Mikhail Lermontov, our primary focus will be these authors‟ engagement with and appropriation of a range of Western European themes, motifs, genres, and aesthetic strategies. We will consider these acts of appropriation from a variety of theoretical perspectives in an effort to understand how Pushkin and Lermontov‟s texts incorporate a common European inheritance in different ways. At the heart of our discussions will be a concern with the ethics of appropriation. We will ask what the creative acts of borrowing, imitation, and quotation reveal about the subject positions Pushkin and Lermontov define in their works. Our interest in the ethical core of aesthetics will also be reflected in the works covered in the course—most of which deal with the dynamics of self and other, love and death, desire and transgression. Readings: Readings for the course will be made available (as links or attached files) on Courseweb as the semester progresses. Readings marked (R) are recommended, but not required. I will make an effort to provide both the original and a English or Russian translation of all French and German readings. Please have copies (either printed or electronic) of the required readings with you for reference in class.

Exploring works by Alexander Pushkin, Nikolai Gogol, Fyodor Dostoevsky, and Faddei Bulgarin, I view tropes such as spending, counterfeiting, hoarding, and gambling, as well as plots of mad or blocked ambition, in relation to the cultural and economic history of Nicholas I’s reign and in the context of the importation of economic discourse and literary conventions from abroad. Furthermore, I consider the impact of culturally and economically conditioned affects—ambition, avarice, and embarrassment—on narrative tone.

"EGO, SCRIPTOR CANTILENAE": THE CANTOS AND EZRA POUND An Abstract of a Thesis Submitted in Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Philosophy Steven R. Gulick University of Northern Iowa August 1991 ABSTRACT Can poetry "make new" the world? Ezra Pound thought so. In "Cantico del Sole" he said: "The thought of what America would be like/ If the Classics had a wide circulation/ Troubles me in my sleep" (Personae 183). He came to write an 815 page poem called The Cantos in which he presents "fragments" drawn from the literature and documents of the past in an attempt to build a new world, "a paradiso terreste" (The Cantos 802). This may be seen as either a noble gesture or sheer egotism. Pound once called The Cantos the "tale of the tribe" (Guide to Kulchur 194), and I believe this is so, particularly if one associates this statement with Allen Ginsberg's concerning The Cantos as a model of a mind, "like all our minds" (Ginsberg 14-16).
