It is enough to remember how the people sing together at the holidays funny songs, texts to which were created by poets of the 18th century, 19th and 20th.

The time of the appearance of poetry in Russia

Russian poetry originated in the seventeenth century. Speaking about the famous, we should mention the name of Simeon Polotsky - the first poet, a Russian professional poet. He owns solemn poems, which are rightly considered the prototype of the ode. Russian poets of the 18th century learned a lot from his most interesting works. Simeon Polotsky, being the main poet of his time, created two collections of syllabic poems. Another great merit of the poet is that he introduced Moscow to the dramatic art, composing three plays in the spirit of medieval mysteries. These plays were staged at the royal court.

Russian poetry of the 18th century

Russian poets of the 18th century used syllabic versification in their works. Thus, they continued the foundations and traditions laid by Simeon of Polotsk. Since the middle of this century, syllabic versification has been replaced by syllabic-tonic verse. The creators of the new poetic system were famous poets of the 18th century: Lomonosov M.V., Sumarokov A.P. and Trediakovsky V.K. Of the genres existing at that time, they preferred a laudatory ode. The great Russian scientist Mikhail Vasilyevich Lomonosov was no less wonderful poet. Most often in his work he used iambic. In his opinion, it was the iambic that gave the poem a special splendor and nobility. He proposed to use all kinds of rhymes in poetry.

Fundamental differences between Russian poetry of the 18th century and Old Russian literature

Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin in one sentence emphasized the new character of literature, which the poets of the 18th century brought with them. What were the cardinal differences of this century from previous stages in the history of literature? First of all, the author's principle was completely absent in ancient Russian literature. A huge number of writers were anonymous. Then there was impersonal literature, which corresponded to feudal ideology, and in this respect, ancient Russian literature resembles folklore, where the author's principle was also absent. There were great masters of their craft, but not artists with a bright and characteristic personality. During the Renaissance, the idea of ​​personality arose in the West. At this time, a new literature appeared, where the author's principle came to the fore. In Russia, the idea of ​​personality was born much later, in great Poets The 18th century and their works marked the beginning of a new period. Russian literature has received dynamic and rapid development. In just 70 years there were such successes in literature that in other countries were won for centuries.

The first steps of Russian literature of modern times

A solid foundation was laid over the course of one decade by three poets at once.

In 1729, from the pen of A.D. Cantemira published the first satire, which opened a whole direction. In 1735 V.K. Trediakovsky aims to create a nationally original literature and makes a reform of versification. The syllabo-tonic system proposed by the poet opened up the prospect of the development of Russian poetry. Her importance and wisdom, as well as wide opportunities confirmed. Until now, this system is used by contemporary artists.

In 1739 M.V. Lomonosov creates an ode "On the Capture of Khotin", based on the reform developed by Trediakovsky.

The great Russian poet M.V. Lomonosov, with his work, radically changed the appearance and nature of literature, its role and place in the cultural and social life of the country. Our literature has asserted its right to exist in poetic genres and "spoke" to the reader in a completely new language. This was achieved by the poets of the 18th century. The Russian verses of these creators are so magnificent that for a whole century poetry occupied a dominant position. It is thanks to her that prose, which arose from the 1760s and flourished in the 30s of the 19th century, is successfully perceived. Then, when they lived and created their unique creations A.S. Pushkin and N.V. Gogol. After that, prose will take its first place in literature.

Conclusion

Thus, the poets of the 18th century made a great contribution to the development of Russian poetry. They used syllabic versification in their works. Thus, they continued the foundations and traditions laid by Simeon of Polotsk. The creators of the new poetic system were: M.V. Lomonosov, A.P. Sumarokov and V.K. Trediakovsky. Thanks to them, poetry occupied a dominant position for a whole century. The poems of Russian poets of the 18th century are magnificent. They won the hearts of many readers.

In Russian literature of the 18th century, the first independent trend began to take shape - classicism. Classicism developed on the basis of samples of ancient literature and art of the Renaissance. The development of Russian literature in the 18th century was also greatly influenced by the school of European enlightenment.

A significant contribution to the development of literature of the 18th century was made by Vasily Kirillovich Trediakovsky. He was a remarkable poet and philologist of his time. He formulated the basic principles of versification in Russian.

His principle of syllabo-tonic versification was the alternation of stressed and unstressed syllables in a line. The syllabo-tonic principle of versification, formulated back in the 18th century, is still the main method of versification in the Russian language.

In the satirical works of Russian literature of the 18th century, Antioch Kantemir was noted. He was a wonderful satirist, ridiculed the nobles, drunkenness and self-interest. In the second half of the 18th century, the search for new forms began. Classicism ceased to meet the needs of society.

At the end of the 18th century, such a literary trend as sentimentalism was formed. Sentimentalism - directed towards exploration inner world human, personality psychology, experiences and emotions. The heyday of Russian sentimentalism in Russian literature of the 18th century was the works of a and a. Karamzin, in the story, expressed interesting things that became a bold revelation for Russian society in the 18th century.
