In 1930, being in France, Tsvetaeva read (in German translation) Undset’s epic trilogy “Kristin, Lavransdaughter” (1920-1922) which became “her favourite book” for life. Tsvetaeva’s attitude towards Undset reveals her attitude to literature as an existential sphere of human experience, as a saving source of life.","PeriodicalId":246030,"journal":{"name":"Literaturovedcheskii Zhurnal","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127420347","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Russian form of the first maxim («The new is the old well forgotten») belongs, probably, to the publicist N.V. Shelgunov. Initially, the first maxim appeared in England and France, and for a long time existed in two versions. The earliest of them (c. 1820) was usually attributed to Rose Bertin, the milliner of Marie Antoinette. The second («There is nothing new but what it has been old») is a quote from Chaucer’s «Canterbury Tales» in Walter Scott’s version («The Adventures of Nigell», 1822). In Germany and Russia, only the first, «Bertin’s version» was in circulation. One of the probable sources of Karamzin’s family sayings «Nothing is new under the moon» was the maxim «Il n’y a rien de nouveau sous la Lune», which appeared at the end of the 17 th century in the novel «Turkish Spy» by Giovanni Paolo Marana.","PeriodicalId":246030,"journal":{"name":"Literaturovedcheskii Zhurnal","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128834034","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Pushkin’s aphorism «Chance, the mighty, instant instrument of Providence» had a number of parallels in French literature, including the works of conservative publicists of the 1800-1820 s. The opinion that Pushkin is polemicizing here with French historians of the Restoration era is not sufficiently substantiated. The expression «formula of history», which plays an important role in Pushkin’s notes, belongs to french traditionalist P.S. Ballanche, but the concept of «providential hasard», introduced by Ballanche, to Pushkin, apparently, was not known. The article also considers the most famous aphorisms from the close semantic series: «Chance is a nickname for Providence» (N. Chamfort), «Chance is the pseudonym of God» (T.

The author of the article shows that throughout the entire body of Moliere’s work, the diversity of plots arises due to the fact that the playwright combines elements of various types of comedy in each play, primarily elements of Italian comedy (both sophisticated and commedia dell’arte) and French farce. At the same time, the characters not only realize the functions of the actants described by V. Propp and A.Zh. Greimas for fairy-tale and more broadly - narrative plots, but they are also endowed with features of the farcical types of “rogue” or “simpleton”. Playing with the plot scheme of the farce and the Italian comedy, Moliere freely combines the functions of various actors in the main characters of each play, either actualizing the well-known plot schemes or destroying them. Moliere’s favorite element of the plot scheme remains the denouement, which arises due to a happy accident, since its other types, in his opinion, are unable to lead to a happy ending.","PeriodicalId":246030,"journal":{"name":"Literaturovedcheskii Zhurnal","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132743296","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As a central symbol of chauvinism, the image of Chauvin appeared in the 1830 s as a result of the contamination of two images: a farcical recruit of the Restoration named Chauvin and a Napoleonic veteran (grognard) who performed under different names. An apology for the warriors’ loyalty, the pathos of colonial conquests and liberally tinged patriotism merge into one. The rise of the image of Chauvin is accompanied by a criticism of this image as the embodiment of a rude military. In Jacques Arago’s essay “Chauvinism” (1845), the image of Chauvin was canonized as a universal type of person who “worships one god... his homelandГ The duality of the image of the farcical Chauvin the recruit and the old Chauvin the Grognard persisted for a very long time, but the first image more and more faded into the background. The authoritarian and militant ideology of the Second Empire greatly contributed to the discrediting of the image of Chauvin in democratie et liberal circles.","PeriodicalId":246030,"journal":{"name":"Literaturovedcheskii Zhurnal","volume":"172 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123008350","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
