The first half of the 19th century
Golden Age of Russian Poetry (or Age of Pushkin ) is the name traditionally applied by philologists to the first half of the 19th century.[ 1] This characterization was first used by the critic Peter Pletnev in 1824 who dubbed the epoch "the Golden Age of Russian Literature."[ 2]
Poets
The most significant Russian poet Pushkin (in Nabokov 's words, the greatest poet this world was blessed with since the time of Shakespeare [ 3] ) and some scholars even refer to this period as the "Age of Pushkin".[ 2] Mikhail Lermontov and Fyodor Tyutchev are generally regarded as two most important Romantic poets after Pushkin.[ 4] Other poets include Pyotr Vyazemsky , Anton Delvig , Kondraty Ryleyev , Vasily Zhukovsky and Konstantin Batyushkov . Pushkin himself, however, considered Evgeny Baratynsky to be the finest poet of his day.[citation needed ]
