Abstract

The paper looks at the work of the Silver Age poet, who entered Russian literature of the twentieth century “as a God who forgot himself” and examines the texts of Maximilian Voloshin to be found at the junction of a literary direction (symbolism) and a method of depicting reality (neorealism). The author shows the spiritual path of Maximilian Voloshin at the “prophetic crossroads” of the turn of the century epoch, when the text and life merged into one and vice versa and displays the poet’s myth-making process acting as the essence of his poetic worldview. The latter serves as a pattern, representative of the whole Silver Age era at the same time preserving the originality and uniqueness of his creator`s view of the world.

Keywords

Voloshin's text, form-making, co-creation, symbolism, neo-realism, Silver Age, turn of the century epoch, the universe.
