Summary:
Montaging Pushkin offers for the first time a coherent view of
Pushkin's legacy to Russian twentieth-century poetry, giving many new
insights. Pushkin is shown to be a Russian forerunner of Baudelaire.
Furthermore it is argued that the rise of the Russian and European
novel largely changed the ways Russian poets have looked at
themselves and at poetic language; that novelisation of poetry is
detectable in the major works of poetry that engaged in a creative
dialogue with Pushkin, and that polyphonic lyric has been achieved.
Alexandra Smith locates significant examples of Pushkin's
cinematographic cognition of reality, suggesting that such dynamic
descriptions of Petersburg helped create a highly original animated
image of the city as comic apocalypse, which followers of Pushkin
appropriated very successfully even as far as the late twentieth
century. Montaging Pushkin will be of interest to all students of
Russian poetry, as well as specialists in literary theory, European
studies and the history of ideas.
