Svetlana. Cultural history of the name
14.99 €
9.59 €
The name Svetlana has a fascinating cultural history: it was not included in the saint's tablets and was not found in the monuments of Old Russian writing, but became part of the Russian onomasticon thanks to Vasily Zhukovsky's famous ballad. Elena Dushechkina traces its path from a classic poetic text of the early 19th century to its incredible popularity in Soviet times, when it was suddenly included in the list of new names of "ideological sounding". Having described in detail the history of the creation of Zhukovsky's ballad and the literary fate of its central character, the author turns to the history of the name Svetlana in the 20th century, drawing on extensive material, including anthroponymic studies and interviews with its bearers. Elena Dushechkina (1941-2020) is a doctor of philological sciences, professor at St. Petersburg University, and a specialist in Russian literature and culture.
