Poezja Michaiła Lermontowa wobec romantycznej idei syntezy sztuk

Abstract

Mikhail Lermontov is described by literature historians as one of the most unique artistic personalities of Russian Romanticism in the nineteenth century. The dissertation is devoted to the overlooked aesthetic problems of Lermontov’s philosophy, individual style and poetics. All the chapters are joined by a common leading theme – the aim of the research is to show a multiline semantic structure of poet’s works, which contains the synthetic vision of art. The poetry is analyzed as an example of integral perception where two co-existing categories of «graphicallity» and «musicality» create a complicated system of mutual tensions. Proposed analysis raises the question: is it possible to read these works through the prism of the romantic idea of community of arts? The author tries to find a general factor (dominant) that builds the multi-aspectual space of selected poems.
