Рецепция Жан Поля в России в перспективе дальнейших исследований
The Reception of Jean Paul in Russia in the Perspective of Further Research · The article retraces the evolution of the reception of the work and personality of the German writer Jean Paul (Jean Paul Friedrich Richter, 1763-1825) in Russian 19th and 20th century culture, taking into account the editions and translations of the 2000s. Attention to Jean Paul’s work in Russian culture is impulsive. In nineteenth-century Russia, Jean Paul was extremely infuential, but by the 1840s his status was ambivalent. On the one hand he was an iconic literary fgure, occupying a place in the European pantheon alongside Schiller, Goethe and Stern, while on the other he was considered a comical fgure and the target of many jokes. He was one of the founders of European nihilism. The relevance of Jean Paul for the Symbolists, and the concentrated attention to him in the intellectual studies of the 1920s-1930s helps us to identify new, unrecorded connotations in the works of Russian writers and critics.
