21 .Attendees at Pavlova’s salon: Munir Sendich, “Moscow Literary Salons:
Thursdays at Karolina Pavlova’s,” Die Welt der Slaven 17 , no. 2 ( 1972 ): 341–57. Al-
though Ogarev edited Russkaia potaennaia literatura,Herzen published it (see
Russkie pisateli, 2 : 355 ). For Pavlova’s publications in al’manakhi,see Smirnov-
Sokol’skii, Russkie literaturnye al’manakhi i sborniki XVIII–XIX vv., 201 , 220–21, 231 ,
240 , 243 , 246–47, 248.
22 .Shashkova, “Epokha Belinskogo,” 79–80. For an account of the historic
gendering of “genius” as male, see Battersby, Gender and Genius.
23 .See Barbara Heldt, “Karolina Pavlova: The Woman Poet and the Double
Life,” in Double Life,by K. Pavlova, iv–vi. The governor of Moscow had his own
accounts to settle with Pavlov, whom he suspected of writing an unflattering epi-
gram about him. He therefore took the occasion of Pavlova’s father’s complaint
to search Pavlov’s library. For attacks on Pavlova after Pavlov’s arrest, see
Briusov, “K. K. Pavlova,” 286 , and Sendich, “Life and Works of Karolina Pav-
lova,”63–64.
24 .See Saltykov-Shchedrin’s review of Pavlova’s collected poetry, in which
he calls her a representative of “butterfly [i.e., frivolous, art for art’s sake] po-
etry” (“Stikhotvoreniia K. Pavlovoi,” Sovremennik,no. 6 , pt. 2 [ 1863 ]: 311–16). We
have seen that Rostopchina’s literary reputation also diminished at this time.
On Pavlova’s interest in political issues, see my “Karolina Pavlova,” in Russian
Women Writers,319–20.
25 .Biographical sketch: Briusov, “K. K. Pavlova,” 273. The Briusov collected
works: Karolina Pavlova, Sobranie sochinenii.
On I. M. Briusova (Ionna Matveevna Frunt), see Ionna Briusova, “Materialy
k biografii Valeriia Briusov,” in Valerii Briusov, Izbrannye stikhi,ed. Igor Postu-
palkii (Moskva: Akademiia, 1933 ), 125–28; Ernst, “Karolina Pavlova i gr. Evdo-
kiia Rostopchina,” 8–9, 11 ; Rapgof, Karolina Pavlova, 44.
On the critical reaction to Briusov’s edition of Pavlova’s works, see A. I. Be-
litskii, “Novoe izdanie sochinenii K. K. Pavlovoi,” Izvestiia otdeleniia russkogo
iazyka i slovesnosti Rossiiskoi Akademii Nauk 22 ( 1918 ), 201–20. Sendich surveys the
Symbolists’ revival of Pavlova and the scholarship inspired by Briusov’s edition
of her works (“Life and Works of Karolina Pavlova,” 244–50).
26 .Liubov’ Gurevich (publisher of Severnyi vestnik,which brought Symbol-
ism to Russia) wrote that her journal first introduced these European authors
(“Istoriia Severnogo vestnika,” in Russkaia literatura XX veka [1890–1910],ed.
S. A. Vengerov [Moskva: “Mir,” 1914 ], 1 : 248–49).
27 .Pavlova attracted the attention of the Symbolists not only because of her
relationships with Golden Age poets but also because she mentored Fet, whom
they also rediscovered. On Pavlova and Fet, see Irina Reshetilova, “Kniaginia
russkogo stikha,” in Chistye prudy: Al’manakh(Moskva: Moskovskii rabochii,
1989 ), 695.
28 .Kovarskii, introduction to Polnoe sobranie stikhotvorenii,by Karolina
Pavlova, vi, xxv–xxvl. Sendich, like other Pavlova scholars before him, disputes
the characterization of Pavlova as a Slavophile or “unprogressive” (“Life and
Works of Karolina Pavlova,” 56 n. 55 ).
