The Emergence of a Hero is dedicated to the history of Russian
emotional culture of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth
centuries - the epoch when the court Masonic lodges and literature
were competing for the monopoly on the 'symbolic images of feeling'
that an educated and Europeanised Russian was supposed to
interiorize and reproduce. The case study in the centre of the
study is the story of the life and death of Andrei Turgenev
(1781-1803), the author of a confessional diary, a gifted poet, and
an early Russian Romantic who failed to live up to the principles
and models he cherished. Brought up on the patterns of emotions he
found in works of Rousseau, Sterne, and the authors of Sturm and
Drang, he soon found them too narrow for his individuality, and
navigated towards a more mature nineteenth century Romanticism, but
was not able to make this transition. Turgenev experimented not so
much in his literary work as in his life. The reconstruction of
this convoluted and enigmatic case is based on archival research
and innovative analysis of individual emotional experience.
