The "Silver Age" is a period of flourishing culture and spiritual life of Russia in literature, philosophy, poetry, theater and fine arts. The end of the XIX — beginning of the XX century, the time when iconic personalities of the “Silver Age” lived and worked, such as: A. Blok, N. Gumilev, L. Bakst, M. Tsvetaeva, A. Akhmatova, N. Roerich, S. Yesenin, V. Vasnetsov, V. Mayakovsky, and many other outstanding masters. Such a constellation of such powerful and original talents, bright creative personalities, has probably never appeared in the firmament of Russian culture.
The beginning of the Silver Age was laid by the symbolists, a small group of writers who carried out an “aesthetic revolution” in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Symbolists in the 90s of the XIX century came up with the idea to reassess all values. It was based on the problem of the correlation of individual and collective principles in public life and in art. This problem arose after the abolition of serfdom and the Great Reforms of Alexander II. The Narodniks were among the first to try to solve it. Considering the collective principle as determining, they subordinated the individual principle to it, the personality to society. A person had value only if he brought benefit to the team. The Narodniks considered socio-political activity to be the most effective. In it, a person had to reveal himself. The strengthening of the populist approach to man and his activities in society, which occurred in the 60s - 80s of the XIX century, led to the fact that literature, philosophy and art began to be viewed as a secondary phenomenon, less necessary compared to political activity. The symbolists directed their “aesthetic revolution” against the Narodniks and their ideology.
This book presents selected poetic lines by the most famous representatives of the Silver Age — symbolists, acmeists, futurists, imagists, as well as authors not associated with any particular trend of Russian modernism.
