Abstract

The folkloric elements in Nikolai Nekrasov's "V derevne" ("In the Village," 1854) go beyond metric and stylistic affinities, and include, among others, the crows that flock as if from around the world; the well, the name Kasyanovna; and the final image of the black net. The paper will describe the dynamics of these elements' interaction within the text, suggesting that in the poem, the lyric author's engagement with the two genres of folk poetry, namely, the epic and the lament (plach, prichitanie), brings about a transformative experience for the lyric hero.
