	Gavrila Romanovich Derzhavin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Derzhavin is best remembered for his odes, dedicated to the Empress and other courtiers.
		Derzhavin's major odes were the impeccable "On the Death of Prince Meschersky" (1779); the playful "Ode to Felicia" (1784); the lofty "God" (1785), which was translated into all languages of Europe; "Waterfall" (1794), occasioned by the death of Prince Potemkin, and "Bullfinch" (1800), a poignant elegy on the death of his friend Suvorov.
		Nevertheless, Nikolai Nekrasov professed to follow Derzhavin rather than Pushkin, and Derzhavin's line of broken rhythms was continued by Marina Tsvetaeva in the 20th century.

	The St. Petersburg Times - World - Pushkin's Predecessor Suffers Unjust Neglect
		Derzhavin was a prolific writer who worked in many genres, but his main achievement today is generally regarded as his lyric poetry, thought to be some of the finest written in the Russian language before Alexander Pushkin.
		Derzhavin occupies a particular place in the history of Russian literature as a transitional figure who broke with the prevailing ideas of "high" and "low" style set down by the scientist and writer Mikhail Lo mo nosov, thus paving the way for Pushkin.
		Derzhavin served with distinction as a soldier and intelligence officer, later becoming Minister of Justice under Alexander I before devoting himself entirely to literary pursuits.

	The Russian Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Gavrila Derzhavin’s lofty place in the hierarchy of Russian literature is based on the poetry that brought him widespread recognition even in his own lifetime.
		Belinskii’s suggestion that Derzhavin had the "potential" to be a great poet but was constrained by his era has generated considerable defense of Derzhavin’s poetic self-awareness, but the question remains not quite resolved.
		Derzhavin’s place in the Russian literary pantheon will always be secure, but our understanding of him as a poet--and as a man who had to negotiate the complicated world of the court in late eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century Russia--will benefit from a reconsideration of his autobiographical prose.

	Donald Loewen, Binghamton University (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		There is something disarmingly simple in Jakov Grot's assertion that Derzhavin's two autobiographical accounts of his life (his Explanations and his Notes) were Derzhavin's attempts to provide accounts of himself in two separate spheres of life: the Explanations would describe Derzhavin as a poet, and the Notes would reveal him as a statesman, Grot writes.
		It is the nature of Derzhavin's "revenge" that is particularly interesting, since a close examination of both texts provides a surprisingly uniform answer to the question that Derzhavin poses for himself in these works: "Who am I?"
		This paper compares Derzhavin's ostensible relationship to his two texts (the overt profession) to the textual evidence, where implicit assumptions and offhand comments reveal a very different narrative strategy—and one that is surprisingly uniform in both works.

		Gavrila Derzhavin, Denis Fonvizin and, later, Alexander Pushkin, praised this imperial mission in its westward direction, depicting Poland as an island of retrograde, Catholic ideas that had to be suppressed by the more enlightened neighbors.
		But it was the leading figure of the European Enlightenment, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, who wisely counseled the Poles: "If you cannot prevent your enemies from swallowing you, at least you can prevent them from digesting you." This is exactly what the Poles did.

		The present volume covers the time period from the later half of the eighteenth century, when Russian literature, in the full sense of the word, came into being, to the present day.
		A very conspicuous omission which one cannot but regret is that of Aleksandr Pushkin, whose work is permeated with classical material and who indeed exercised a major impact on the Russian view of what is poetry and how it must be written.
		Of the remaining authors, Charles Bryd interprets Derzhavin's poem on the pleasures of country life as an example of "anxiety of influence" and the poet's "filial" relationship to Horace.
