Тема Германии в русской поэзии начала XX века (В.Я.Брюсов, О.Э.Мандельштам)

Abstract

The reception and artistic embodiment of Germany’s topic as in the poetry by V.Brusov and also in the verses by O.Mandelstam 463 is realized in cultural and historical aspects. But if Brusov interprets the topic from the historical aspect first of all, and thereupon in the cultural plan, in Mandelstam’s poetry historical component is secondary, while Germany’s culture both as a power opposing the wars and the destruction and its connection with Russia’s culture are of paramount importance. Courageous perception of life and this world reflected in the philosophy of acmeism, in the conception of poetical creation and the Word, found its embodiment in the topic of Germany in Mandelstam’s poetry and, primarily, in his indicative’poem “To the GermanSpeech”.
