They were destined for a small audience — his close friends and relatives, including such poets as Gavriil Derzhavin, Vasily Kapnist, Fedor Lvov, Apollos Musin-Puskin, and Ivan Muravyev-Apostol. This friendly atmosphere determined the poetics of Lvov’s epistles and made them an area of bold experimentation.
