title: Bobrov: wandering from darkness to light
abstract: Semen Sergeevich Bobrov (1763/1765-1810) has often been viewed as a second tier poet of the end of the eighteenth and the beginning of the nineteenth century. His poetry was considered ponderous, overwrought, archaic, even non-poetic. However, his work is extremely interesting at least from the spiritual standpoint where he towered over many more recognized literary figures of the age.
