Nikolay Karamzin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Karamzin was born at the village of Mikhailovka, in the government of Orenburg on the 1st of December (old style) 1765. Perhaps Karamzin may justly be censured for the false gloss and romantic air thrown over the early Russian annals; in this respect he reminds us of Sir Walter Scott, whose writings were at this time creating a great sensation throughout Europe, and probably had their influence upon him. As a critic Karamzin was of great service to his country; in fact he may be regarded as the founder of the review and essay (in the Western style) among the Russians. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Nikolai_Mikhailovich_Karamzin   (1057 words)

Classicism and Sentimentalism The rise of Sentimentalism in Russia is closely associated with the increasing legitimacy of prose as a medium of literary expression. Nikolai Mikhailovich Karamzin was the son of a wealthy provincial family. The second major influence on the young Karamzin was that of Freemasonry, at that time of great intellectual and cultural importance in Russia. www1.umn.edu /lol-russ/hpgary/Russ3421/lesson3.htm   (1003 words)

Michael Wachtel, Princeton University   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09) My focus will be on Karamzin’s visit to Potsdam and, in particular, his supposed meeting at the Russian Orthodox church with the last remaining member of that community, who had purportedly been living in Potsdam since the reign of Anna. Curiously, Karamzin neglects to mention the odd fact (which would surely have struck an eyewitness as significant) that the Russian “church” at this point was nothing more than a room in the town hall. Karamzin’s recitation of passages from Klopstock’s “Messiah” in Russian translation to an amazed German audience) is surely connected thematically to the Potsdam excerpt. aatseel.org /program/aatseel/2005/abstracts/wachtel.htm   (410 words)

The COOK Report On Internet Born in Simbirsk in 1766, Karamzin was the second of four children of a family of the provincial nobility. As a result of the elder Turgenev's guidance, Karamzin became involved in freemasonry and in 1785 settled down in Moscow to begin a period of intensive journalistic and literary study. In 1798 Karamzin began a translation project to be called the Pantheon which led to difficulties with the censorship and to his retirement from the literary scene. www.cookreport.com /chapter.2.shtml   (5438 words)

Slant Magazine - Film Review: Foolish Wives Karamzin's business is destroying lives, and over the course of the film's existing 141 minutes, he takes advantage of no less than three women: the American Helen Hughes (Miss DuPont), his maid Maruschka (Dale Fuller), and the counterfeiter's half-witted daughter, Marietta (Malvine Polo). Karamzin is a monster, not so much because his "eyeopener" is oxblood and his "cereal" is caviar, but because he understands how to oppress others with sinister surroundings. After Karamzin sneaks into Ventucci's house (ostensibly to rape the man's daughter) and a duped Maruschka kills herself, Ventucci is seen pulling Karamzin from a closet (a fl cat darts across the frame) before dumping his body into a sewer. www.slantmagazine.com /film/film_review.asp?ID=1021   (617 words)

Karamzin, Nikolai Mikhailovich - HighBeam Encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09) Karamzin made the Russian literary language more polished, elegant, and rhythmic. Karamzin's sentimental story of a betrayed peasant girl, "Poor Lisa" (1792), forecast the novel of social protest. His greatest work, an 11-volume History of the Russian State (1818-24), was a widely read dramatic account of the political actions of the Russian princes up to 1613. www.encyclopedia.com /doc/1E1-karamzin.html   (262 words)

SCREENVILLE :: Foolish Wives - Erich Von Stroheim Erich von Stroheim, in a splendid white military uniform, is the sophisticated Count Sergius Wladislaw Karamzin, a russian expatriate living in Monte Carlo with his 2 alledged cousins, who are actually his escort-partners in crime, and his faithful maid. Karamzin reads in the paper the american ambassador and his wife arrive in Monte Carlo, and figure the neglected wifewill be the perfect victim of his game. Apparently the subplot suffered most from the butchery, as we don't see much of Karamzin seducing his maid, and a sick woman he visits during the night by climbing the facade, although her protective father chase him with a shotgun. mapage.noos.fr /screenville/crit/film/foolishwives.htm   (1048 words)

Silent Era : DVD : Foolish Wives (1922) Review Karamzin snakes his way into the lives of an American envoy and his young wife, intent on seduction and theft. Karamzin’s monomanical intent is so focused he is only deflected by the watching eyes of others, and fortune protects Mrs. The close-up of Karamzin’s maid at 1:24:12 pauses for a few frames then jumps ahead to edit out a small number of frames of emulsion flaws in the source print that are seen in the Kino edition. www.silentera.com /DVD/foolishWivesDVD.html   (2293 words)

dOc DVD Review: Foolish Wives (1922) - Printable Karamzin is in fact a fraud, acting in complicity with his two mistresses who are only posing as his cousins. He clearly assumes the persona of the "man you love to hate," for his Karamzin is incredibly vile and selfish, yet gleeful while he fleeces the wealthy, steals his maid's life savings and rapes the mentally retarded daughter of one of his accomplices. Yet von Stroheim is not as madly in love with the idle upper classes as James; he inserts a number of pathetic characters for contrast: a ragamuffin wearing an old German soldier's helmet, and an armless veteran who reappears several times, always with a glare of disapproval of Helen. www.digitallyobsessed.com /showrevpdf.php3?ID=545   (1228 words)

Slavic Bazaar 2005 - Photos Significantly, Karamzin’s taste for German literature and philosophy fuels his sense of nationalism, allowing him to assign national characteristics to countries based on the people he meets. Taken together, especially considering the significance of Notes to Karamzin’s oeuvre and the long period of time over which it was written and published in installments, the instances of criticism of the foreign and glorification of the Russian in each nation appear strikingly comprehensive. Finally, I put Notes into the context of Karamzin’s later career, briefly demonstrating its compatibility with and often anticipation of his later work as a writer, publisher and historian. ccat.sas.upenn.edu /slavic/calendar/slavic_bazaar2005_abstracts.htm   (2510 words)

Publisher description for Library of Congress control number 90037705 N.M. Karamzin (1766-1826) was the foremost Russian representative of the late eighteenth-century Sentimentalist movement. She stresses the importance of the role of the author-reader in the structure of Sentimentalist texts, and relates this to the style and genres of these works. Through close readings of a representative selection of Karamzin's prose fiction, including works previously disregarded as trivial or frivolous, she shows the range of Sentimentalist fiction, its place in literary evolution, and ways in which it anticipates the Romantic movement and the modern Russian novel. www.loc.gov /catdir/description/cam024/90037705.html   (231 words)

Charles Arndt, Brown University   (Site not responding.

I was only ten years old, when I already knew almost all of the main episodes of Russian history from Karamzin, whom our father would read to us aloud in the evenings.
