Marlinsky is out of date now no one reads him and even his name is jeered at; but in the 'thirties his fame was above everyone's and in the opinion of the young people of the day Pushkin could not hold candle to him.
One came across heroes a la Marlinsky everywhere, especially in the provinces and especially among infantry and artillery men; they talked and corresponded in his language; behaved with gloomy reserve in society "with tempest in the soul and flame in the blood" like Lieutenant Byelosov in the "Frigate Hope." Women's hearts were "devoured" by them.
Of Russian writers he respected Derzhavin, but liked Marlinsky, and called Ammalat-Bek the best of the pack.... A few days after my first meeting with the two friends, I set off for the village of Bezsonovo to see Panteley Eremyitch.
But Tyeglev had evidently been pleased with the phrase: he had made use in it of the accumulation of epithets and amplifications a la Marlinsky, at that time in fashion.
