About 65 years of the poet's literary activity appear in full on the pages of this collected works. The dates of a number of Zhukovsky's works have been clarified in this edition, and in some cases corrected. Participants of this publication also carried out a frontal comparison of all published texts of Zhukovsky with their primary sources and created the most complete set of autographs and copies of published works.
