Lenore, Ljudmila, Mcyri: intertestualità e simboliche

Abstract

The main target of this essay is to compare three poems, Leonore (1774) by G.A. Bürger, Ljudmila (1808) by V.A. Žukovskij and Mcyri (1839) by M.Ju. Lermontov. The aim of this research is to point out the peculiar poetic use of a series of symbolic elements which the reader meets in each of these three works (the wind, the storm, the war, the divinity, the horse, the panther, the moon). On one hand the achievements of the analysis show how some of these symbols have been kept almost unchanged in the three poems. On the other hand the results have been stressed how some symbolic elements have been worked out by the poets, recreating and enriching them with different ideological values.
