V. Khodasevich "European Night" (beginning)
Course: Lyrics of the Silver Age
Lecturer: Alexey Gennadievich Mashevsky
Characteristics of Vladislav Khodasevich's final book of poetry, "European Night." "The iron grinding of cacophonous worlds"—the satirical and tragic quality of Khodasevich's late poems. A rapprochement with the aesthetics of expressionism. The themes of Nekrasov and Annensky in Khodasevich's lyrics. The poems "Petersburg" and "Stars." The world of the bourgeois West in the poems "All Stone. Into the Stone Aisle...," "Berlin," "Windows to the Courtyard," and "Poor Rhymes." The theme of breakthrough-departure-falling out, granting freedom and ending the meaningless repetition of imitation existence in the poems "It was half-dark outside..." and "An Mariechen."
