Литературные общества в России первой половины XIX века: проблемы междисциплинарного описания

Русская литература. 2021. № 1. С. 5–18.

Bodrova A. S.

The review article systematizes the principal achievements in the studies of the literary societies and associations in the Russian and foreign historiography of the 1990–2010s, and analyzes approaches to this material within the framework of various disciplines and methodologies. The author suggests an institutional approach as the basis for the development of a conceptual and fact-fortified language for describing the literary societies in Russia in the first half of the 19th century. An institutional approach provides an opportunity to link the history of the literary associations with the broader socio-historical context and to describe the role played by the literary societies in the formation
of the «public sphere» and civil society in 19th-century Russia.
