"SVET" AS WORLD AND "SVET" AS SOCIETY IN N. KARAMZIN'S POETRY: MECHANISM OF THE EVOLUTION OF MEANINGS
The article deals with the evolution of meaning of the epithet “svet” in the N. Karamsin's poetry. It is shown that classicism first implicitly prepares the sentimentalistic split of “svet” as world into “svet” as society and its periphery (nature), - but then classicism reunites “svet” / society and nature on a new level, giving the society and the state the attributes of their former sentimentalistic antipodes. There is nature and poetry, that unites the pure reason of classicism and the feeling of sentimentalism.
