Abstract
Aim. To identify the importance of Italian culture for Pushkin’s personality.
Methodology. The material of the article was the entire corpus of Pushkin’s literary heritage – his lyrics, poems, dramatic works, autobiographical prose and letters. The research is based on the continuous sampling method, biographical, cultural-historical, comparative-historical, as well as historical-functional approaches that allow us to holistically present the features of Pushkin’s “Italian text”.
Results. The article reveals the substantive aspects of Pushkin’s “Italian text”, which are associated with the concepts of “beauty”, “freedom”, “Italian opera”. The degree of Pushkin’s knowledge of the Italian language is systematically presented, the details of his acquaintance with Italian culture are revealed. The hypothesis is put forward that Pushkin outlines the ways of development of Russian literature by analogy with the literature of Italy. Proposals on the thematic division of Pushkin’s “Italian locus text” are formulated.
Research implications. The theoretical significance of the study is related to the systematic representation of the Italian theme in Pushkin’s work and the in-depth development of the problem of “locus text” in Russian literature
