Olga Freidenberg, primarily known to western readers as Boris
Pasternak's cousin, correspondent and confidante, was, in her own
right, an author and scholar of great accomplishment. "Image and
concept" - here for the first time available in English - is
Freidenberg's study of the origins of Greek tragedy. It was
Friedenberg's special genius that anticipated the structural and
semiotic approaches to myth and literature. "Image and concept"
develops the notion that with the transition from mythological
thinking to formal-logical concepts came the appearance of
literature. Inherited mythological forms were reinterpreted
conceptually: causalized, ethicized, generalized, and abstracted.
This reinterpretation brought about poetic figurality. Folkloric
material began to be differentiated from mythological images of the
past into the various disciplines of religion, philosophy, ethics,
literature, and art. Yet, differentiated and reinterpreted as it
was, the folkloric material remained formally preserved in poetic
image, structure, and plot.
