Victor Maksimovich Zhirmunsky: Poetics of Russian Poetry
This volume presents the seminal work of Academician V.M. Zhirmunsky (1891–1971), a foundational figure in Russian and Soviet literary criticism. The core essays, written primarily in the 1910s and 1920s, explore the problems of poetics through the lens of Russian literature, focusing especially on the work of early 20th-century poets. Landmark studies such as "The Tasks of Poetics," "Those Who Overcame Symbolism," "The Poetry of Alexander Blok," and "Around the Poetics of OPOYAZ" have long been considered essential reading in the field. The collection also includes a later piece, "Anna Akhmatova and Alexander Blok," written in the final years of the author's life.
This book is intended for literary scholars, philology students, and anyone with a deep interest in Russian poetry and the evolution of poetic theory. It offers a direct look into the foundational texts of a major critical school. Price: 2595.00 RUR.
