[RUSSIAN IMAGINISM - AVANT-GARDE] Teoriia svobodnogo stikha: zametki o poeticheskoi tekhnike [Theory of verse libre: notes on poetic technique]

by Charles Vildrac, Georges Duhamel, and Vadim Shershenevich, translator

First Russian language publication of Charles Vildrac (1882-1971) and Georges Duhamel's (1884-1966) 1910 "Notes sur la Technique poétique," translated with commentary by the Imaginist poet Vadim Shershenevich (1893-1942). The translation helped Shershenevich to further formulate his theory of "Imaginism" (Imazhinizm), a poetic movement he founded along with the poets Sergei Esenin and Anatoli Mariengof.

by Grigor'ev, Sergei

This polemical work offers a scathing critique of Imaginism, a movement in avant-garde Russian poetry that polemicized with Futurism (especially with Mayakovsky), and saw the creation of the image as the main objective of poetic art. Sergei Esenin, Anatoli Mariengof, and Vadim Shershenevich are typically named as the founders of the group, with other prominent poets such as Aleksandr Kusikov and Nikolai Erdman taking active part. The group published its manifesto in 1919 and was at its peak of activity... Read more about this item
