Сонеты о Лермонтове: Брюсов, Бальмонт и Северянин

Abstract

The article examines poetic portraits, silhouettes and medallions, made in the genre-strophic form of a sonnet, in which the image of poet M. Lermontov. V. Brusov, K. Balmont and I. Severyanin turned to these genres most successfully. A comparative analysis of the image of Lermontov in their sonnets demonstrated both a common dominant principle — an orientation towards the mythologeme of the Demon, and the originality of the idiostyles of such different poets.
