On the importance of the cult of male friendship, Bacchic, and anacreontic
poetry for the poets of Pushkin’s generation, see Verkhovskii, Poety pushkinskoi
pory, 32 , 56. Pushkin wrote a tribute to Anacreon, “Kobylitsa molodaia” ( 1828 ),
originally titled “Podrazhanie Anakreonu” (A. S. Pushkin, Sobranie sochinenii
[Moskva: Khudozhestvennaia literatura, 1974 ], 2 : 571 ), which will be discussed
in chapter 2.

32 .On Kul’man’s challenge to classical androcentric traditions, see my
“Nineteenth-Century Russian Women Writers,” 98–99. Frank Göpfert argues
for Kul’man’s place in German literary history in “Zwei russische Dichterinnen
und ihre Beziehungen zum deutschen Kulturkreis: Elisaveta Kul’man und Sarra
Tolstaja,” Die Welt der Slaven 38 , no. 2 (n.s. 17 , no. 2 ) ( 1993 ): 227–34.
33 .On male literary circles and al’manahki(annual literary collections), see
Todd, Fiction and Society in the Age of Pushkin,64–65, and Vatsuro, “Zhizn’ i
poeziia Nadezhdy Teplovoi,” 19–21. The impossibility of a woman publishing
an annual literary collection at this time is reflected in Vatsuro’s bemused de-
scription of Teplova’s desire to do so: “[A]nd with winning simplemindedness
[s podkupaiushchim prostodushiem] [Teplova] requested from Maksimovich the
addresses of her suggested contributors: Pushkin, Somov, Baratynskii, Khomi-
akov, Pogodin” ( 30 ).
Of the canonical men poets, Pushkin edited Sovremennik,Del’vig edited Sev-
ernye tsvety,Baratynskii was connected with both Moskovskii vestnikand the short-
lived Evropeets (The European). Of the noncanonical men poets, Miller founded
his own journal, Razvlechenie (Amusement), Guber served as literary critic for
Biblioteka dlia chteniia,and Maikov was on the editorial board of Moskvitianin.
