Вячеслав Иванов и Михаил Гершензон [На пути к Переписке из двух углов]
Year: 1994
Type: article
Abstract: Vera PROSKURINA, Viacheslav Ivanov and Mikhail Gerschenson on the way to the Correspondence across a room. The present article traces the history of personal and "professional" relations of Viacheslav Ivanov with the historian of the Russian intellectual movement, writer and thinker, Mikhail Gerschenson. Based on the unpublished materials of their correspondence and the manuscript review "Bul'var i pereulok" (1915), the prelude to the Correspondence across a room looms up, the roots of which go back to the mid-1910's, a time of joint translation work and of friendly discussions among Ivanov's Muscovite interlocutors. Gerschenson 's article, "Teoriia slovesnosti", annexed herewith, is extracted from the humoristic review "Bul'var i pereulok". Filled with domestic esoterism, it gives a skilful representation of "Ivanov's universe". Interspersed with Gerschenson 's ironical accents, it foreshadows their future polemics and throws a light on its origin.
