Orthodox Word in the Works of Vologda Writers by Lyudmila Grigorievna Yatskevich
This scholarly work examines the writings of Vologda poets and authors through the lens of Orthodox ethics and aesthetics. The book explores how the land, blessed by the light of Orthodoxy, nurtured a generation of writers whose works reflect this spiritual grace. Its central aim is to demonstrate how the spirit of the Orthodox faith is embodied in artistic images and poetic symbols across the works of Vologda masters of the word.
The volume presents a diverse range of writers and poets—each with distinct spiritual experiences and stylistic approaches—united by their adherence to Orthodox tradition in their views on life, homeland, and the Russian language. The book’s composition is structured around key words central to Orthodox consciousness of the Russian people: Holy Rus, faith, truth, love, patience, beauty, prayer, joy, sorrow, word, repentance, and sobornost (spiritual unity). Each chapter takes one of these words as its title and thematic focus.
Intended for philologists, local historians, teachers, as well as graduate and postgraduate students, this book offers a unique perspective on the intersection of faith and literature in the Vologda region.
