The muse of the face was sad. Lyrics. Nekrasov N.

A collection of poems by N. A. Nekrasov has been prepared for the 200th anniversary of his birth. Nekrasov came to literature in the middle of the 19th century, when almost all the poets of the Pushkin's galaxy and Lermontov had already passed away when Russian poetry was experiencing a deep decline. The poet is primarily lyrical, he embodied in his verses a completely new vision of Russian life, brought into the poetry of a new hero and approved in it new moods of sorrow and sorrows associated with the deep rejection of his contemporary reality - a difficult share of peasantry, oppression of free thought, and dominance of the ideology of the ruling. Not a single Russian poet knows such a predominance of folk elements in poetry. One of the most important qualities of Nekrasov’s poetry is that he forced the Russian verse to sound in a new way, bringing new rhythms, unusual sizes, and new vocabulary. And thereby gave a huge impetus to the development of Russian lyrics of the 20th century.

Poems are printed in the collection in a chronological order, which makes it possible to see the formation and development of the poet’s remarkable talent, to penetrate his mindset at different periods of life, to feel how close the lyrical The element of his work of epic works, when both nature and life are seen through the prism of personal feeling.
