Abstract

While discussing lyric poetry in his theoretical treatise, G. R. Derzhavin mentioned various types of inspiration he experienced while writing poetry. Derzhavin’s contemporaries, and later the critics, noted the poet’s outstanding ability to inundate well-known literary plots, themes, and even words with new content. Satirical poem by A. P. Sumarokov on the topical issue of the noblemen’s attitude to service and leisure was perceived by Derzhavin polemically, and prompted him to write the ode Felitsa.

Keywords

A. P. Sumarokov, G. R. Derzhavin, satire, inspiration, ode.
