This study examines Russian elegiac literature of the period 1790-1840, in particular the works of Mikhail Lermontov, Nikolai Karamzin, and Evgeny Baratynsky. It argues for a reading of the genre that views the elegiac text not merely as an expression of loss but also as a reflection on the problems that inhere in the act of writing. Among these, it identifies language itself as that which continually frustrates the elegist's attempt to delimit his concerns. Language ends up being, simultaneously, the only means of realizing an intent and the inevitable deviation from that intent. This study, then, traces some of the Russian elegy's figural "movements.".

520 $a This study examines Russian elegiac literature of the period 1790-1840, in particular the works of Mikhail Lermontov, Nikolai Karamzin, and Evgeny Baratynsky. It argues for a reading of the genre that views the elegiac text not merely as an expression of loss but also as a reflection on the problems that inhere in the act of writing. Among these, it identifies language itself as that which continually frustrates the elegist's attempt to delimit his concerns.

520 $a By way of surveying existing elegy criticism, the introduction sketches out one important point of intersection between two radically different critical traditions---namely, the attempt to make theory correspond to practice. Chapter 1 revisits the problem of repetition in Mikhail Lermontov's poetry, focusing on how the language of mourning casts suspicion on its own sincerity. Chapter 2 examines Karamzin's figures of interruption and tries to show how elegy issues from an interest in alterity---in this case, the dead other---even as it returns to underscore the other's artificial existence in elegy. In Chapter 3, I study the dialectic of homecoming and displacement in Baratynsky's long elegy, "Desolation," demonstrating that even as language gestures at the former, it inevitably produces the latter. Concluding with a reading of Belinsky's famous essay "Literary Reveries," I aim to show that the three figures persist not only in poetry and prose, but in criticism as well.
