A. S. PUSHKIN’S CRITICAL NOTES FOR THE FIRST ISSUES OF LITERATURNAYA GAZETA (TOWARDS THE PROBLEM OF DATING)

Abstract

The autographs of many of Pushkin’s critical notes published in "Literaturnaya Gazeta" have not been preserved, and those that are available are mainly derived from the so-called First Arzrum No te-book. A number of perceptive observations concerning the dating of these articles were made by Ya. L. Lev-kovich, who prepared the description of this notebook. However, a more subtle look at the content of the notes and the exact time of publication, has helped us to further clarify their dating.
