Lyrics - is the pinnacle of poetry

Lyrics - this is a kind of literature, where life is reflected through thoughts, experiences, impressions, which are caused by some circumstances. All feelings and emotions are not described, but expressed. Characteristic features of the lyrics are the poetic form, rhythm. In the center of attention are the deep emotional experiences of the hero.

Scientists, literary scholars believe that the lyrics - this is one of three kinds of literature. There is, along with drama and epic. Each literary genus has a core feature. The epic narrates about the events, the drama displays the events in the dialogues, and the lyrics subjectively and emotionally convey the author's reflections.

There was this word in the 19th century from the Latin "lyre". Later it was borrowed in Greek, French, English, German, Italian. To us the word "lyrics" came from French. It means the genus of fiction or the totality of works belonging to this genus. Lyrics - it's emotional elements in some work or work of the writer, this is the inner monologue of the writer, which he leads with himself.

This kind of literature covers such poetic genres: romance, elegy, song, sonnet, poem. They say that the lyrics are the soul of poetry. In its center is a concrete subject - a poet, his thoughts, emotions, which constitute the content of the work. Whatever the range of the writer's themes, his individual evaluation can be traced everywhere, in contrast to the epic, where the events are objectively portrayed. Therefore, the lyric poet has the risk of being misinterpreted. Personal interpretation of their experiences is a position of affirmation of personality. This is her strength and weakness at the same time. The depth of the poet's worldview becomes decisive in creating a lyrical work. In the 19-20 centuries, this genre began to be divided into four categories: civil, philosophical, love and landscape. In the genre of lyrics were written by J. Byron, F. Petrarca, A. Pushkin, M. Lermontov, A. Blok.

Creativity of the artist, who creates poetry, gives his poetic world a unique and individual look. This distinguishes Lermontov's lyrics from Pushkin's lyrics, Blok's works from Nekrasov's creations, etc. To feel the features of the works of various poets, one must turn to their biography, the history of that time.

Lyric Pushkin passes several stages of its development. His first verses were influenced by the struggle between literary and poetic languages. During the Lyceum years, satirical lines and parodies emerge from the poet's pen. The lyrics of these years are devoted to friendly relations, which were connected by strong ties with young talents. Pushkin's works are imbued with ideas of historical, artistic and social ideas. Love lyrics became the pinnacle of his work and, in addition, of all Russian poetry.

Emotional wealth of the poetic world of A. Pushkin contained all the shades of love feelings: from a fleeting fascination and to the pangs of repentance from eternal separation. The whole poet's poetry is permeated with moral, ethical norms, even if it is a matter of treason and delusion. The author's poems convey a human feeling ennobled, in which there are no random traits, but there is individuality, drama and power.

To perceive the works of any author is necessary with the assimilation of his genre, type, style, dimension. Only after that one can understand the incomprehensible meaning of the lyrics. Ignorance of its features can lead to a misinterpretation of the meaning that the poet has invested in the work.
