Verse I
This chapter traces the development of Russian poetry from the earliest known texts to the late nineteenth century. The emphasis is on versification (syllabic, syllabo-tonic, and tonic [also called accentual] systems, all of which appear at times in Russia), genre, and style. Examples come primarily from the work of canonic poets. A distinction is drawn between folkloric and literary verse, which intersected only infrequently. Some attention is d…
Introduction [Aatseel Presidential Panel
Charts, Graphs, and Meaning
The present paper reviews a classic work of scholarship on Russian verse, Kiril Taranovsky’s Russian Binary Meters. The analysis demonstrates that the two sections of the book are tacitly at odds with each other, and that the more famous second part (on “regressive accentual dissimilation,” and more generally the evolution of rhythmic patterning in various meters) does not fully take into account the observations of the first part (on accentuatio…
Dionysos und die vordionysischen Kulte
Der in Moskau geborene Vjaceslav Ivanov (1866-1949) ging als Zwanzigjähriger nach Berlin, wurde Doktorand bei Otto Hirschfeld und Theodor Mommsen, wendete sich dann aber von der akademischen Laufbahn ab und entwickelte sich zu einem der einflussreichsten russischen Dichter und Gelehrten seiner Zeit.

The Cambridge Companion to Pushkin
Alexander Pushkin stands in a unique position as the founding father of Russian literature. In this Companion, leading scholars discuss Pushkin's work in its political, literary, social and intellectual contexts. In the first part of the book individual chapters analyse his poetry, his theatrical works, his narrative poetry and historical writings. The second section explains and samples Pushkin's impact on broader Russian culture by looking at h…
The Cambridge Introduction to Russian Poetry
New Scholarship on Vyacheslav Ivanov
Writing as Exorcism
This interpretive essay brings a poetic sensibility to bear on the lives and works of three major Russian writers. It is Ilya Kutik's contention that many writers are tormented by secret fears and desires that only writing - in particular, the use of certain words and images - can exorcise. Making this biographical approach peculiarly his own - and susceptible to the nuances of comedy, tragedy and critical equanimity - Kutik reads works of Alexan…

Russian Symbolism and Literary Tradition
This work explores the art and development of Vyacheslav Ivanov (1866-1949), the poet and theorist who articulated a highly influential concept of Symbolism. The German writers Goethe and Novalis also played a central part in his vision, being precursors in the proto-Symbolist pantheon
The Acmeist Movement in Russian Poetry
As a study in English of Acmeism as a movement in its own right, this book shows how the early 20th-century movement developed into a way of thinking about poetry and the Russian literary tradition. The main Acmeist forum, Tsekh Poetov; Acmeism's history and relationship with Russian Symbolism; its theoretical and critical principles; intertextuality in Acmeist poetic practice; and the philosophy behind the movement are investigated, as are the m…
