The article presents a study of the typical lyrical plot, representing the hero-poet in his study room. Comparative analysis of Russian lyric poems of different genres (elegy and others) and authors (Batyushkov, Pushkin, Fet, Polonsky and others) reveals the certain traditions in evolution of this plot – in comparison with the similar tradition in novel (investigated earlier by N. Nyagolova). In the beginning of 20th century these traditions can be observed in Bunin’s poetry and two poems of I. Annensky and N. Gumilev.
The article discusses the semiotic parameters of the locus of the study room in the Russian novel from the second half of the 19th century. It outlines the socio-cultural context that makes this locus topical in the works of the Russian novelists from the epoch after the reforms. The given examples of presence of the study room in the novels of I. Turgenev, I. Goncharov, F. Dostoevsky and L. Tolstoy are interpreted in several principle aspects: – objects in the composition and its selection – the relation character – material detail – semantic transformations and their motivation.
