Рассмотрены образы свободы в правовом дискурсе В.А. Жуковского. В качестве материалов исследования используются эгодокументы и неопубликованный конспект сочинения немецкого профессора по уголовному праву К.Э. Ярке «Die rechtliche Freiheit» (1831). В статье представлена одна из первых попыток анализа нового источникового материала, вводимого в научный оборот, с междисциплинарной позиции, совмещающей историко-филологический, квалитативнолингвистический и дискурсивно-правовой подходы. The article presents an analysis of the image of freedom in Vasily Zhukovsky’s heritage on the material first introduced into academic discourse. The analysis is made in an interdisciplinary context and employs historical-philological, qualitative-linguistic and discursive-legal approaches. The material is Zhukovsky’s previously unpublished notebook containing 14 sheets with the author’s notes in Russian and German on both sides. The notebook is stored in the National Library of Russia, and the archive staff titled storage unit no. 38 as “[On Freedom]. Separate Draft Notes” and roughly dated it by the years 1832‒1833. The notebook actually contains Zhukovsky’s notes on the essay “Die Rechtliche Freiheit” written by Karl Ernst Jarcke (1801‒1852), a famous German publisher, theorist and historian. Jarcke wrote works on German criminal law, the French Revolution of 1830; as the editor of Berliner Politisches Wochenblatt, he had many publications there. Jarcke’s essay sets out his main views on the most important concepts of jurisprudence, on the state and the church, rights and freedoms, which together form a stable system characteristic of the ideas of statehood in the conservative circles of the Prussian intellectual elite of the 1830s–1840s. The content of the notes on the essay is reflected in Zhukovsky’s legal discourse in his diaries, in most theses on the theory of state and law, freedoms and rights, state regime and social structure. Only Zhukovsky’s prose contains such reasoning. The concept of freedom in Zhukovsky’s diary prose changes over time. In the early period, the poet speaks mainly of his own, personal, inner freedom. Upon occupying a position at the court, Zhukovsky begins to reason upon the history of law and often speaks about freedom in the legal sense. After reading the notes on Jarcke’s essay, we can conclude that Zhukovsky was wary of the idea of exalting freedoms and easing restrictions. Thus, the concept of freedom in Zhukovsky’s legal discourse is realized exclusively in the author’s ego-documents (diary and epistolary prose, minutes and notes). The range of meanings of the word ‘freedom’ includes both close-todictionary and non-trivial definitions. In both cases, it is the imagery of the romantic sense, that is, freedom of different types (the absence of political, economic oppression; the possibility of manifesting one’s will; personal independence, etc.) as a universal integral to the whole. Within the framework of Zhukovsky’s legal discourse, the whole is the conception of statehood and citizenship based on religious and mystical principles. New sources, one of which is the attributed notes on Jarcke’s “Die Rechtliche Freiheit”, allow imagining anew the scale and nature of Zhukovsky’s relationship with the German world.
