Functional Characteristics of Notes by Authors, Editors and Publishers in Sentimentalist Magazines in Russia at the End of the 18th Century

Section: History of Journalism

Sentimentalism, which reached Russia at the end of the 18th century, determined the evolution of the literary process in the country and set the vector for the development of Russian journalism. In search of a platform for expressing their views and creative fulfilment, sentimentalist writers and other aspiring authors began to actively publish magazines of the new, sentimentalist direction. This article examines seven large Russian publications, which can be fully considered sentimentalist: Moskovskiy Zhurnal (1791–1792), Chtenie dlya Vkusa, Razuma i Chuvstvovaniy (1791–1793), Delo ot Bezdel’ya (1792), Ezhenedel’nik (1792), Priyatnoe i Poleznoe Preprovozhdenie Vremeni (1794–1798), Muza (1796), Ippokrena, ili Utekhi Lyubosloviya (1799– 1801). The results of this research include the analysis of the functions that notes performed in sentimentalist journalism at the end of the 18th century.
