Overview
Overview
The beginning of their creative path was in the 1900s–1910s. These poets did not call themselves "new peasant" and did not form a literary union or direction with a uniform theoretical platform. However, all "new peasant" poets in one way or another were featured by appeals to the theme of rural Russia contrary to the industrial one, a connection with the world of nature and Russian folklore. At the same time, the stylistic aspirations of "Russian modernism" were also intelligible to them. The term "new peasant poets" appeared in Russian literary criticism at the turn of the 1910s–1920s in articles by Vasily Lvov-Rogachevsky and Ivan Rozanov. The term was introduced to separate the silver-age peasant poets from peasant poets of the 19th century: Alexey Koltsov, Ivan Nikitin, Surikov poets).
It is associated with Russian Empire and Soviet Union.
