In the context of a general attempt to determine the debt of the Russian symbolists to their French predecessors, discusses the links between Ivanov’s poetics and the French symbolists with particular reference to Baudelaire, Verlaine, and Mallarmé. The chapter on symbolist aesthetics devotes attention to Ivanov’s essays, considered in relation to the ideas of his contemporaries and to the polemics of 1910 between Ivanov, Blok (1910.5), Briusov (1910.6), and Belyi (1910.3). Relates Ivanov’s view of the links between poetry and music to Mallarmé, Verlaine, and Wagner.
