About the author:

Abstract:

P.A. Vyazemsky’s prose and poetry represent an artistic vision of the world. Meanwhile, they are filled with “various antiquities, natural curiosities and modern celebrities”. As a traveler and writer of life, P.A. Vyazemsky during his long life collected and recorded information that adds much to our knowledge of local history. As a thinker, he raised issues that would later be developed by local history science: memory and the spirit of the place, preservation of memory and protection of monuments, geographical determinism, etc. As a powerful theorist of romanticism, Vyazemsky articulated the discoveries and achievements of the Russian romantic school, taking a step towards the ethnographic literature of the next generation.

  • Keywords: P.A. Vyazemsky, memoir, documentary and fiction, local history, ethnography.
