Abstract:

Semyon Bobrov’s image of a poet-Archaist was shaped by epigrams, including the famous Batyushkov’s distich. This distich characterized with complex and ambivalent meaning is considered against the background of the literary polemics contra Bobrov that took place in 1810-ies.

Keywords: Semyon Bobrov, poetic exaltation, hard drinking, literary reputation, Konstantin Batyushkov, Pyotr Vyazemsky, Alexander Pushkin
