Josip Užarević ; Faculty of humanities and social sciences, University of Zagreb

Abstract

The ode “God” is considered as the most renowned poem by Gavrila Derzhavin, a leading Russian eighteenth-century poet. It is simultaneously one of the first Russian poems to gain a pan-European resonance. The article considers the context of the ode’s creation, with special emphasis accorded to the composition made up of the intersection of three semantic axes: “Thou—God”, “nature—cosmos” and “I—man”.

Keywords
