metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The article focuses on selected examples of the 19th century iconography of Ivan Krylov. Depictions
  of the poet are considered within the representational tradition that originated in
  the age of Enlightenment and reflected the transformation of writers into public figures and
  celebrities. This tradition highlighted the growing social influence of writers, as well as the
  growing power of society, which, regardless of the will of monarchs and state institutions,
  dictated literary reputations and chose idols for itself. Western prototypes most significant to
  Krylov’s iconography were the sculptural and pictorial representations of Voltaire acquired by
  Catherine II, and statues of Walter Scott installed in Scotland shortly after the novelist’s death.
  The article argues that Nicholas I paid special attention to these latest Scottish monuments when choosing among different concepts for the first monument to Krylov. The portrayals of
  famous writers evolved in the context of ideas of “great man” and “national poet”. The article
  examines the semantic variations with which the term “national poet” was used in Russia
  under Nicholas I. Representations of Krylov are analyzed not only as evidence of his personal
  literary reputation and public success, but also as markers of social influence that writers as
  a community were gaining at the time. In Russia, this process was, paradoxically, under the
  close and effective control of the state and of the tsar personally.
