Poetry of N.M Yazykov: a re-evaluation
Full text linkYazykov has long been known as the "student-poet" and scholars have
persisted in viewing him in this way for over a century. Even the
longest study of his verse, which also happens to be one of the most
recent studies, taking as its source an edition of the poet's work
which was published thirteen years before the poet's death and only
a short time into his post-student life, continues the idea that a
synchronic approach is sufficient for a full appreciation of the
work. In this study we have confronted the assumptions underpinning
this evaluation of the poet and have found the denial of a
chronological development of Yazykov's poetry to be not only unfair
but also inaccurate. As a consequence of this assumption his work is rarely considered as
a whole. Indeed, the poetry which he wrote after he left university
is accorded short shrift by virtually every scholar and critic. The
aim of this thesis is, in part, to provide a fuller discussion of
the whole of Yazykov's poetry than has previously been attempted. The only studies of Yazykov's verse of any length are theses whose
parameters have been set narrowly, concentrating either on certain
periods, genres, or formal characteristics. As a consequence whole
periods of Yazykov's development are either ignored or considered on
only one level.
An important feature of this thesis is the division of Yazykov's
career into three broad periods, rather than the more usual two or
the above-mentioned denial of any diachronic development at all.
This gives the opportunity to focus more attention on the later
years. The study is divided into four chapters, each dealing with a
specific phase of Yazykov's career. The first three chapters are
each concerned with the lyric poetry of the different periods, while
the fourth contains a discussion of Yazykov's longer works

Consultants Interim Report: Vickers Submerged Duct
No full textLast year, due to the lack of time for many of the Device Teams to advance their work to an adequate stage, it was necessary for the Consultants themselves to generate much of the information required for their report. The basic work included the development of reference designs from information supplied by the teams to a degree of detail sufficient for quantities to be taken off and for productivity to be assessed and the cost of power to be calculated. This year, the Device Teams are responsible for the reference designs with the Consultants commenting upon the schemes and the data presented. The stage of development reached by the various Device Teams differs widely due to the varying starting dates and resources. In addition, the philosophy adopted by the Device Teams in their approach to presentation leads to differing emphases or degrees of optimism when considering the data available to them. The Consultants feel that it is an important part of their task to comment on devices from a common standpoint and in particular to differentiate between the facts established by the Teams and the ideas and hypotheses which they introduce to complete their presentations. In view of this, it was considered essential to establish the scope and degree of development of the various key aspects related to each device. The first section of this report sets out to present the full range of information available to the Consultants, together with its status as judged by its suitability and degree of completeness for incorporation in the development of a reference design which can be assessed and costed. The second part of this report contains the Consultants' appraisal of the information, discussed under the most significant headings. In order to avoid contention, this report in draft from has been discussed with the Device Team. There is no disagreement as regards the extent and status of the information made available to the Consultants and, except where specifically noted, the Consultants' appraisal has been generally accepted. NOTE - THIS REPORT IS TO BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE DEVICE TEAM'S REPORTS. THE CONSULTANTS HAVE NOT REPRODUCED THE DEVICE TEAMS DRAWINGS IN THIS REPORT
