This book by the prominent European scholar displays the Italian Humanism, the German Romanticism and the Russian Symbolism as one indivisible tradition. This tradition is represented, first of all, by the names of Viacheslav Ivanov, Andrey Bely, A. Blok, A. Akhmatova.
Khlebnikhov’s linguistic experiments, Blok’s sophisticated symbolism, Akhmatova’s poetics of hints are considered as the subjects of hermeneutic acts. As a result, the meanings expressed in their «obscure languages» are revealed.
