5.0 out of 5 stars I think this is the best book ever written about Vyacheslav Ivanov., February 18, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Russian Symbolism & Literary Trad: Goethe, Novalis, And The Poetics Of Vyacheslav Ivanov (Hardcover)

Russian Symbolism seems to be a peculiar literary movement at first glance. But Russian Symbolists inherited very much from German romantics. I'm also a student of Russian Symbolism, especially of Ivanov's heritage, like the author. I was captivated by this book. This fascinating book has become for me a model of my research (especially the chapter 10 is splendid!): a "mirror" of what I think about Ivanov. An excellent book both for specialists and for simple literature lovers.

This review is from: Russian Symbolism & Literary Trad: Goethe, Novalis, And The Poetics Of Vyacheslav Ivanov (Hardcover)

A trenchant investigation of an essential subject. Rarely have I encountered such a profound treatment of this highly intriguing subject. The book is a must for anyone interested in German-Russian literary relations.
