Beschreibung:
The subject of the chapter is the influence of the Cecembrist uprising in Russia in the year 1825 across three literatures: Polish, French and Russian. A comparative analysis of the following poems: Anhelli by Juliusz Slowacki, (ed. 1838), Wanda. Histoire russe by Alfred de Vigny (published posthumously in 1864) and the two-part epic poem by Nikolay Nekrasov Russian Women [Russkie zhenschiny], 1871-1872) allows us to present the signifiance of an important historical eventfrom three different national perspectives . All three poems feature the historical figure of Princess Ekaterina Trubetskaya (1800-1854), who went to Siberia of her own free will to accompany her husband, convicted of revolting against the tsar. The story of her life (and other repercussions suffered by the Cecembrists and other victims of the era of Russian tsar Nicholas I) is one of the 19th century's great martyrological and historiosophical traditions. The literary tradition of Dante's Divine Comedy is for Slowacki, de Vigny and Nekrasov a common frame of reference, and serves, to a certain extent, as an interpretative matrix.
