Nekrasov. Brief biography of the poet: origin
He was from a once wealthy landowner family. However, due to the fatal addiction of its members to gambling, the writer’s father, Alexei Sergeyevich, only had a small name, Greshnevo, in the Yaroslavl province. The poet’s mother, Elena Zakrevskaya, was the daughter of an official. Parents did not want to give out their beautiful and well-educated daughter for a poor and glorious reveler and gambler of an army officer. Then Elena and Alexei got married secretly. Subsequently, she repeatedly regretted it. Her husband's drunken orgies, the impoverishment of the family as a result of card debts - these are the realities in which Elena, little Nikolai and 12 other brothers and sisters lived.
Childhood
Much of the consciousness forms the early years. Nikolay Nekrasov, whose short biography reveals his formation as a writer, was born in 1821 in Nemirov (now Vinnytsia region of Ukraine). At the age of three, the boy moved to the Greshnevo family estate. There he was an involuntary witness to the arbitrariness of his father, knocking out arrears, and humiliating position of his mother. He, who died early, will later devote a number of his works (“Mother”, “Last Songs”, “Knight for an Hour”). At 11, Nikolai entered the gymnasium in Yaroslavl, where he studied mediocre. But there he wrote his first poems.
Youth
Father predicted a military career for Nicholas, and in 1838 sent him to a noble regiment in St. Petersburg. But there he met his classmate at the gymnasium, a student who carried him away with a desire to go to university. Exams Nekrasov failed. Left without financial help from an angry father, he was forced to look for work. In these years, Nekrasov, whose brief biography would not be complete without this episode, lived in extreme poverty. Sometimes he even slept in shelters for the homeless. Need not only introduced him to the world of the poor, but also tempered his character.
Recognition of talent
How, then, did such a
classic of Russian literature as Nikolai Alekseevich Nekrasov mature from an unknown beggar? Biography - a short story of past years - cannot convey the difficulties that the poet had to overcome on the way to recognition. The first collection of his youthful poems was recognized by critics as unsuccessful. Nekrasov was added by writing vaudeville, composed fairy tales in verses for popular prints. Finally, he decided to try his hand at prose. Thus began his own realistic method. The writer expected even greater success in the field of editing in the journal Sovremennik. The pages of this publication revealed their talent Turgenev and Tolstoy, Goncharov and Herzen, Saltykov-Shchedrin and Dostoevsky.
Mature years
Since the 1850s, the writer began to have serious health problems. In addition, the aggravation of political repression in the country and a split for ideological reasons among the editors and authors of Sovremennik led to the magazine being closed. However, Nekrasov and his friends continued to print poems and various critical materials in The Whistle, which used to be an appendix to the main publication. These changes influenced the general style of Nekrasov’s poetry. She changed, became accusatory, scourging.
