Lyric Incarnate examines the plays of Aleksandr Blok, the
pre-eminent poet of Russian Symbolism and one of the greatest poets
of the twentieth century. Blok's plays have received less attention
than his poetry in the West, and this book is the first and only
English-language monograph devoted to Blok the playwright. In
chronological succession, each of Blok's major plays is examined in
detail. Special attention is accorded to Blok's relations with the
major directors of his time, particularly Meyerhold and
Stanislavsky. Blok's role, for instance, in Meyerhold's formulation
of the theatre of the grotesque proved to be critical, and his
relation to the Moscow Art Theatre just before the October
Revolution helped to define the future course of that theatre.
Blok's innovative dramatic technique is carefully studied at each
stage in his career, from his earliest "lyric dramas," such as A
Puppet Show and The Stranger, to his great tragedy The Rose and the
Cross.
