Les genres autobiographiques à l’époque romantique en Russie : le dialogue amical ou amoureux et l’expression de soi

In Russia , just as in Europe , the romantic era highlights what has previously been considered “ minor ” or unimportant , and which morphs (in concealed , covered forms ) into a dominant trend of literary life . One of the characteristics of this transformation is the new place occupied by horizontal relations between individuals : friendship and love . This study will describe the development of the new types of the friendship in the Romantic period in Russia reflected in autobiographical genres . We will also discuss how love relationships evolve and how women contribute to these social and literary changes . The weakness will be at the centre of our analysis : we will mention minor literary forms (such as autobiographical genres ) ; “ secondary ” literary themes (subjective expression ) and the role of the “ weaker ” sex in the literary life of the Romantic period.Subbotina Galina.
