Romanticism[edit]

Pushkin is considered by many to be the central representative of Romanticism in


Russian literature although he was not unequivocally known as a Romantic. Russian
critics have traditionally argued that his works represent a path
from Neoclassicism through Romanticism to Realism. An alternative assessment
suggests that "he had an ability to entertain contrarities which may seem Romantic in
origin, but are ultimately subversive of all fixed points of view, all single outlooks,
including the Romantic" and that "he is simultaneously Romantic and not Romantic". [2]
