Anton Antonowitsch Delwig
Anton Antonovich Delwig ( Russian Антон Антонович Дельвиг * 6 . Jul / 17th August 1798 greg. In Moscow ; † 14 jul. / 26 January 1831 greg. In Saint Petersburg ) was a Russian poet .
Anton came from the German-Baltic Delwig family , he received his education in the Lyceum in Tsarskoye Selo , at the same time as Alexander Pushkin , whose trusted friend he became, and at an early age betrayed unusual poetic gifts and a great enthusiasm for poetry . After leaving the Lyceum in 1817, he got a job in the mountain department, then became a librarian's assistant at the imperial public library and in 1825 an official for special assignments in the Ministry of the Interior. From now on his house was the meeting point of the literary world of Petersburg, and the promising younger generation (Pushkin, Glinka , Baratynski , Vjasemski etc.) grouped around him. Together with the latter, he published the almanac “Severnyje zwety” (“Nordic flowers”) from 1825–32. Among Delwig's own poetic productions, his poems, written in the Russian folk song tone, deserve special mention, some of which have passed over to the people; the rest of his poems lack lightness and perfect form. Collections of his poetry appeared in 1829 and 1839. The first volume of the "Severnyje Zwety" was re-edited by Pyotr Bartenew (Moscow 1881).
