From Biology to Philology: The Poetics of a Generational Mind
This unique volume collects the major literary studies of V. V. Korona—a biologist by profession and a philologist by vocation—presenting an original method for analyzing the structure of poetic and literary texts. The book bridges two worlds: alongside the core philological works, it includes a selection of Korona’s biological essays, revealing a rare interdisciplinary perspective.
What sets this edition apart is its deeply personal dimension. Korona’s private correspondence with A. Burshtein and other addressees not only illuminates the author’s individuality but also paints a vivid portrait of an entire generation during the turbulent 1980s–1990s. Through these letters, readers encounter the intellectual and emotional landscape of the era, where science, literature, and personal history intertwine.
Compiled by A. S. Burshtein and E. K. Sozina, the book is intended for philologists, literary enthusiasts, and anyone interested in the methodology of science, the nature of creativity, and the enduring question of “personality in history.” It offers both rigorous analysis and an intimate human story—a rare combination for a scholarly work.
