Abstract |
The paper deals with the history of the relationship between the bright representative of the Silver Age, the writer A. S. Voznesensky and M. Gorky. The investigation is based on new archival materials from A.M. Gorky Institute of World Literature of the Russian Academy of Science. The life trajectories of Gorky and Voznesensky often went in parallel, since they were people of similar beliefs and the same social circle. We know about only one their meeting, which happened in Moscow in 1902, but their connection was carried out through letters and mutual acquaintances. Five letters of Voznesensky, stored in the archives of the Institute of World Literature of the Russian Academy of Sciences, cover the period from 1910 to 1936. In his letters, Voznesensky talks about himself, about the difficult situation of Soviet writers and the tragic fate of the writer Andrei Sobol. Gorky, in a letter dated as of 1910, gives an assessment of the previously unknown play by A.S. Voznesensky. These materials are shedding light on some facts of M. Gorky’s biography and allow for the fuller covering of the life and creative path of A.S. Voznesensky and for a deeper understanding of the literary process of the first third of the twentieth century in general. |
