Lomonosov – Shakespeare’s rival?: Natalya Grantseva

MV Lomonosov wrote the first tragedy in the history of Russia about the Battle of Kulikovo “Tamir and Selim”. Why is his dramatic heritage still considered as evidence of his mediocrity – both in the field of drama and in the field of historical thought?
The book of N. Transva “Lomonosov is Shakespeare’s rival?” – An attempt to return to Lomonosov the good name of the great playwright and a bona fide historian. The experience of reading by the author of the “Lomonosov canon” proposes to rethink the contribution of the poet-Titan to the history of theatrical affairs in Russia. The same experience allows you to think about the autobiographical component of the tragedy “Demofont” as a source of the version of the royal origin of M.V. Lomonosov.
The book is intended for a wide reader.
