On Arcadian motifs in the lyric poetry of Apollon Maykov JF - Bibliotekarz Podlaski JA - bp VL - 53 IS - 4 SE - Literature studies DO - 10.36770/bp.651 UR - https://bibliotekarzpodlaski.pl/index.php/bp/article/view/651 SP - 173-192 AB - <p>The article is devoted to the discussion of Arcadian themes in the poetry of Apollon Maykov. It discusses the traditional idyllic depiction of Arcadia as the lost paradise of childhood, so yearned for by the poet. The presence of anti-idyllic motifs – escaping/leaving the earthly Eden – is also pointed out. Maykov’s Arcadian landscapes are also analysed in relation to the current of land poetry and the myth of the “nobleman’s nest”. The Arcadian nature has aesthetic (beauty and richness of nature) and ethical values for the poet (harmony, peace, goodness, naturalness and truthfulness).&nbsp;</p> ER -
