A leading Russian symbolist poet, essayist, and mentor to an entire generation of writers, Andrei Bely (1880-1934) achieved greatest renown for his works such as Petersburg, The Silver Dove, and Kotik Letaev. Vladimir Alexandrov analyzes Bely's conception of symbolism as a new form of cognition linking the individual, the material world, and the transcendent realm. The book discusses Bely's development from experimental prose to major novels, and explores the influence of philosophical and occult systems on his art.
