Change of genre semantics of lyrical cycle at the beginning of 20th century
Abstract
The paper looks at the lyrical cycle, which at the beginning of 20th century became a genre. Its original genre semantics, formed in symbolist poetry, was the demiurge myth. Gradually the mythological content faded if not evanesced completely. However, the harmonisation of the world remained a semantic pivot of the lyrical cycle. These theses are exemplified by a comparison of the two texts: "O Chyom Poyot Veter" by A. Blok and "Mishi" by V. Khodasevich
Keywords
