The origins of the Russian reception of his heritage are connected with two significant figures who had a considerable influence on the state of social thought of their time, namely, one of the founders of the Theosophical Society E.P. Blavatsky and the positivist philosopher V.V. Lesevich. In their publications, special attention was paid to E. Arnold’s Buddhist poem <italic>The Light of Asia</italic> (1879). The authors of the study, on the one hand, analyze E.P. Blavatsky’s lengthy article <italic>The Light of Asia. As told in verse by an Indian Buddhist</italic>, published in the journal <italic>The Theosophist</italic> immediately after the release of the first English edition of the poem; on the other hand, they systematize the responses to <italic>The Light of Asia</italic> and to Arnold’s work, in general, that were expressed in her works written at different times. The authors interpret V.V. Lesevich’s work as a popularizer of Buddhism, which laid the foundation for the adoption of the poem <italic>Light of Asia</italic> by Russian translators.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>Творчество английского писателя Эдвина Арнольда (1832–1904) было широко известно в России конца XIX века. У истоков русской рецепции его наследия стоят две значительные фигуры, существенно влиявшие на состояние общественной мысли своего времени, – одна из основательниц Теософского общества Е.П. Блаватская и философ-позитивист В.В. Лесевич. Особое внимание в их публикациях уделялось буддийской поэме Э. Арнольда «Свет Азии» (1879). Авторы исследования, с одной стороны, анализируют пространную статью Е.П. Блаватской «“The Light of Asia”. As told in verse by an Indian Buddhist», опубликованную в журнале The Theosophist непосредственно после выхода первого английского издания поэмы, с другой – систематизируют отклики на «Свет Азии» и в целом на творчество Арнольда, высказанные в ее трудах разного времени. Осмыслена деятельность В.В. Лесевича как популяризатора буддизма, положившая начало для освоения поэмы «Свет Азии» русскими переводчиками.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>E.
