In the final paper, Michele Russo and Marianonietta Fiore examine the pastoral elements and their linguistic realization in British Romantic poetry which are set against “the decidedly different geographic and linguistic environment of Russia in the Romantic period”. Using a methodological approach based on Sapir (2007) and Bakhtin (1979), the authors compare Wordsworth’s and Clare’s idyllic depictions of the British countryside with Pushkin’s poem of 1833 recounting the flooding in Saint Petersburg in 1824. Russo and Fiore conclude that “already by the turn of the 19th century the discourses of far-seeing poets and men of letters had alerted humankind to the necessity of preserving the environment and the natural configuration of the rural landscape.”

Abstract
In the final paper, Michele Russo and Marianonietta Fiore examine the pastoral elements and their linguistic realization in British Romantic poetry which are set against “the decidedly different geographic and linguistic environment of Russia in the Romantic period”. Using a methodological approach based on Sapir (2007) and Bakhtin (1979), the authors compare Wordsworth’s and Clare’s idyllic depictions of the British countryside with Pushkin’s poem of 1833 recounting the flooding in Saint Petersburg in 1824. Russo and Fiore conclude that “already by the turn of the 19th century the discourses of far-seeing poets and men of letters had alerted humankind to the necessity of preserving the environment and the natural configuration of the rural landscape.”I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
