Khlebnikov is becoming recognized as one of the major Russian poets
of the twentieth century, having for years been dismissed as a
purveyor of unintelligible verbal trickery. This book provides a
broad survey of his work. Dr Cooke's aim is to be both informative
and interpretative by mapping out the contours of Khlebnikov's
still largely uncharted poetic world. He highlights the complex
relations between the poet and his public, draws attention to
Khlebnikov's preoccupation with the meaning as well as the poetry
of language, points to the significance of images of war and
conflict in his work, and shows how the figure of the poet-warrior
can metamorphose into the poet-prophet. There is also an
examination of the vexed problem of Khlebnikov's attitudes towards
his manuscripts and his concept of the book.
