Synopsis:
This study, the first in a new series, addresses the reception of classical antiquity in Russia as reflected in the writings of several significant twentieth-century poets: Innokentii Annenskii, Viacheslav Ivanov, Marina Tsvetaeva, Osip Mandelshtam and Joseph Brodsky. This is viewed in the broader context of the Russian relationship with Greco-Roman heritage as a gateway to European culture, and the book thus offers a concise chronology of Russian poetry's self-construction as a legitimate European heir to the legacy of Greece and Rome.The development of classical reception is traced from Antiokh Kantemir and Mikhailo Lomonosov to Alexander Pushkin and found formative for the themes chosen and explored by the poets of the twentieth century. Two major themes explored in most of the poetic texts are Russian mythological tragedy and the reception of Ovid's poetry of exile. This study looks at the texts of these Russian poets from the perspective of classical reception by combining both theoretical and historical approaches with the traditional study of allusions and influences in the poetic texts.

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. This important study, the first in a new series on "Classical Diaspora", explores the reception of classical antiquity in Russian poetry with a particular focus on the writings of several significant twentieth-century poets: Innokentii Annenskii, Viacheslav Ivanov, Marina Tsvetaeva, Osip Mandelshtam and Joseph Brodsky. These poets' engagement with the classics is analysed within the wider context of Russia's relationship with Greco-Roman heritage as a gateway to European culture. The earlier phase of the development of classical reception in Russian poetry is traced from Antiokh Kantemir and Mikhailo Lomonosov to Alexander Pushkin. Thus the book offers a concise chronology of Russian poetry's self-construction as a legitimate Euopean heir to the legacy of Greece and Rome. The Russian poetic reception of classical literature has its own distinctive features such as a preoccupation with mythological tragedy and with the reception of Ovid's poetry of exile, setting it apart from the traditions and movements associated with Western European classicism.This fascinating study combines historicist scholarship with a sophisticated alertness to recent developments in reception theory, producing a compelling account of a hitherto neglected aspect of the classical tradition. Part of a series on "Classical Diaspora", this book explores the reception of classical antiquity in Russian poetry with a particular focus on the writings of several significant twentieth-century poets including: Innokentii Annenskii, Viacheslav Ivanov, Marina Tsvetaeva, Osip Mandelshtam and Joseph Brodsky.
