Kuhlman Elizaveta

(1808 - 1825), a German, who was born and lived in St. Petersburg. Precocious and discovered the outstanding linguistic skills (fluent in ten languages) and the poetic talent, Kuhlman received the wrong direction, in the spirit of pompous and purely external classical. Twelve years she translated Anacreon into five languages and three prose poems of up to 16 years has written a number of poems, published anthological collection "Crown" and a rather fake "Russian Fairy Tales". Russian-German "Corinne" (her nickname), a good command of verse, but further diversifying did not have time to go, only here and there through the "classical" lifelessness in her flashing sparkles poetic feeling. Reading Kuhlman, hardly believe that she was a contemporary of Goethe in Germany, Zhukovsky, Batiushkov and Pushkin in Russia. Editions of works Kuhlman: "Piiticheskie experiments" (St. Petersburg, 1833, 2 nd edition 1839), "Fairy Tales" (St. Petersburg, 1839); "Complete Collection of Russian, German and Italian poetry" (St. Petersburg, 1841); "Sammtliche Dichtungen "(St. Petersburg, 1835, 2 nd edition, Frankfurt, 1857). - See.
