Poustevna basniku – basnici poustevny (ruska poezie 20. a 30. let 20. stoleti v prazskem exilu)

Beschreibung

The monograph deals with a group of poets "Skit poetov" (The Poets’ Retreat), who worked in Prague in the period of 1922-1940. The group consisted mostly of young Russian immigrants. The book contextualises the young Russian poetry in the framework of poetry written in other centres of Russian exile, particularly in Paris, and defines its relation to the poetry published in the Soviet Union. It focuses in particular on the development of the group of poets Skit, the poetics of its main representatives and their relation to the Czech environment. Despite the fact that the literature of the Russian exile is already seen as an integral part of the Russian literature and both Russian and non-Russian researchers have paid a lot of attention to it in last years, there remain many undiscovered areas and unresolved questions. The topic therefore is worth of attention of literary scholars and historians and it still represents a large amount of literary heritage that has not been studied properly.
