Unorthodox Beauty shows how Russian poets of the early twentieth
century consciously adapted Russian Orthodox culture in order to
create a distinctly religious modernism. Martha M. F. Kelly
contends that, beyond mere themes, these writersdeveloped an entire
poetics that drew on liturgical tradition. Specifically, Russian
Orthodoxy held out the possibility of unifying spirit and matter,
as well as a host of other dichotomies-subject and object,
empirical and irrational, noumena and phenomena. The artist could
produce a work of transformative and regenerative power. Using a
range of crossdisciplinary tools, Kelly reads key works by Blok,
Kuzmin, Akhmatova, and Pasternak in ways that illustrate how
profoundly religious traditions and ideas shaped Russian modernist
literature.
