Heidelberg, 4.—10. September 1989. Edited by Wilfried Potthoff. Heidelberg: Universitätsverlag C. Winter, 14—34.

Analyzes the argument of Ivanov’s essay “Dve stikhii v sovremennom simvolizme” [Two elemental forces in contemporary symbolism] (1908) and investigates his “double-edged critique” of modern culture, its “nihilistic psychology” and “materialistic sociology.” Considers his understanding of the preconditions for mythopoeia and for tragedy in Russian culture, and gauges the extent to which they are plausible. Follows up the connection between Ivanov and F. Creuzer.

Investigates Ivanov’s understanding of Wagner’s music as marking the beginning of the Dionysian age, and of his aesthetic theories as a model for the ideal form of the new culture. Focuses on two essays by Ivanov and on his poem “Tristan i Izol’da” [Tristan and Isolde] from the cycle “Gimny Erosu” [Hymns to Eros], first published in 1920. Also explores the importance of Beethoven and Scriabin for Ivanov. For a fuller treatment, see Bartlett, 1990.3.

In Russian. Ivanov is one of thirty-four poets represented in the anthology by an essay on his life and works (by I. Semibratova) and by a selection of twelve poems. The introductory essay ends with the assertion that “the poetry of Ivanov is once more returning to the motherland which he always remembered.” The bibliography of literature about Ivanov contains only three items.

sketched by Belyi, including a cutting characterization of Ivanov as an Oedipus figure who failed to realize his spiritual promise (pp. 21—22): “He was on his way to initiation, but arrived at...rococco and baroque; carried out from top to toe style jésuite.” See also Mironova, 1993.37.

Describes reflections of the secret circle’s meetings in poems by Ivanov and Kuzmin, in the story by S. Auslender, “Zapiski Ganimeda” [The notes of Ganymedes], and in Zinov’eva-Annibal’s play “Pevuchii osel” [The singing ass]. Quotes from Berdiaev’s letters to Ivanov, reflecting his retrospective feelings over the society and expressing his view of Ivanov’s character, mystic inclinations, and inadequate relation to Christianity. See also Malmstad, 1977.6; Cheron, 1986.10; Voloshin, 1991.43.

Highlights the many links between the play and the domestic situation of Zinov’eva-Annibal, Ivanov, and Gorodetskii in 1906, comments on the cult of Eros at the tower, and notes the presence in the play of figures representing various literary contemporaries.

In Russian. Examines the relationship of Ivanov and the eminent historian M. I. Rostovtsev (1870—1952) in the light of documents from archives in Russia, the United States, and Rome. Publishes ten letters written between 1907 and 1925: six from Rostovtsev to Ivanov, two from his wife to Vera Shvarsalon, one from Rostovtsev to Gol’shtein, and one from Ivanov to Rostovtsev (1914). Rostovtsev and Ivanov first met in Rome in 1893.

334

Rostovtsev encouraged Ivanov to publish his dissertation in Latin in 1906; Ivanov’s slowness with the proofs is reflected in the letters. In 1918 Rostovtsev emigrated from Russia, moving to the United States in 1920. His later letters deal with the possibility of finding an academic position for Ivanov in the United States.

des IV. Internationalen Vjačeslav-Ivanov-Symposiums. Heidelberg, 4.—10. September 1989. Edited by Wilfried Potthoff. Heidelberg: Universitätsverlag C.Winter, 314—25.

In Russian. Contrasts the anarchic aesthetics of Schlegel with the ethical and religious approach of Schelling and considers the relation of Ivanov and Belyi to these two aspects of romanticism with reference to their differing views of the functions of myth and symbol. Concludes that while for Belyi culture functions as an absolute in relation to which man is only a subject, for Ivanov the significance of culture lies in its relation to the divine absolute beyond it. See also Nivat, 1984.22; Nicolescu, 1988.49; Cymborska-Leboda, 1990.14.

Comments on his development of the dialogue or “mirror” principle as part of his idea of “sobornost’” [communality] and on his criticism of existing church institutions in Russia.

The correspondence includes discussion of Ivanov’s translations of Byron prepared for Vengerov in 1904—1905 (reflecting their disagreement over the use of archaisms). At Vengerov’s request Ivanov sends him his literary autobiography (14/27 December 1904) with bibliographical details of his works and reviews of them (see Vengerov, 1905.11). In 1907 he writes an article on “Tsygany” [The gypsies] for Vengerov’s edition of

340

Pushkin’s works. In 1915 he sends Vengerov his essay on Baltrushaitis, and approves the suggestion of Siunnerberg as the author of a description of the former literary “Wednesdays”; in 1916 he approves the essay on this subject written by Berdiaev (see Berdiaev, 1916.3).

Considers the two writers’ relation to various sources and traditions (the classical concept of fate, Old Testament retribution, Christian apocalyptic eschatology, the Gothic novel, Wagner, and Ibsen), and finds that while Ivanov draws on the older sources, Blok turns to the later ones. Analyzes the treatment of the theme in Ivanov’s cycle “Godina gneva” [The time of wrath] and in Blok’s cycle “Vozmezdie” [Retribution] (1908—1913) and long poem of the same title. Finds that Ivanov’s perspective is national and historical, while Blok’s approach is moral and philosophical. See also Koretskaia, 1978.5; Dotsenko, 1988.18.

53 TERRAS, VICTOR. “Bachtin or Ivanov?” In Vjačeslav Ivanov: Russischer Dichter — europäischer Kulturphilosoph. Beiträge des IV. Internationalen Vjačeslav-Ivanov-Symposiums. Heidelberg, 4.—10. September 1989. Edited by Wilfried Potthoff. Heidelberg: Universitätsverlag C. Winter, 344—48.

Defines the difference between Ivanov’s conception of Dostoevskii’s novels and Bakhtin’s. Tests the applicability to the four great novels of Ivanov’s “vertical analysis” of the Dostoevskian novel in terms of four levels (the pragmatic, the psychological, the metaphysical, and the social allegory). Concludes that “Ivanov’s conception of the Dostoevskian novel as an integrated ‘novel-tragedy’ is basically sound” and “allows one to challenge Bachtin’s polyphonic theory on two counts.” On Bakhtin and Ivanov, see Bakhtin, 1929.1, 1963.2, 1979.2; Clark and Holquist, 1984.4; Crone, 1988.13; Kotrelev, 1988.35; Igeta, 1989.26; Jackson, 1989.29; Szilard, 1989.55, 1993.52; Salma, 1992.23; Grabar, 1993.26; Iovanovich, 1993.27.

Internationalen Vjačeslav-Ivanov-Symposiums. Heidelberg, 4.—10. September 1989. Edited by Wilfried Potthoff. Heidelberg: Universitätsverlag C. Winter, 349—64.

Considers Ivanov’s reception of Novalis as an example of a symbolist’s approach to German romanticism. Emphasizes his relatively late discovery of Novalis and discusses his “unusually free renderings” of the German poet, noting significant variations of rhythm, lexis, syntax, and semantics in the translations. Demonstrates the introduction of autobiographical elements into the translations, drawing on Ivanov’s diary of 1909. Defines Ivanov’s task as “helping Novalis to speak the language of Russian symbolism.” See also Ivanov, 1987.11; Etkind, 1988.21, 1990.20; Wachtel, 1990.60.

Characterizes the distinctive features of Ivanov’s view of Hellenism, comparing his approach to that of Western classical scholars (C. M. Bowra, Henri Frankfort, Bruno Snell). Draws on his essays “Anima” (1935) and “Ellinskaia religiia stradaiushchego boga” [The Hellenic religion of the suffering god] (1904) and comments on his “reckoning with Nietzsche.” Refutes some of the common misconceptions surrounding Ivanov’s understanding of Hellenism: he was not a neopagan and did not project Christian values back onto the Greek mysteries.
