This book is the first detailed history of the Russian Symbolist
movement, from its initial hostile reception as a symptom of
European decadence to its absorption into the mainstream of Russian
literature, and eventual disintegration. It focuses on the two
generations of writers whose work served as the seedbed of
Existentialism in thought and of Modernism in prose and the
performing arts, and reassesses their achievements in the light of
modern research. At the centre of the study are the texts
themselves, with prose quoted in English translation and poetry
given in the original Russian with prose translations. There is a
valuable bibliography of primary sources and an extensive
chronological appendix. This book will fill a long-felt gap, and
will be invaluable to students and teachers of Russian and
comparative literature, Symbolism, modernism, and pre-revolutionary
Russian culture.
