Synopsis

This volume contains a 15-page Introduction on Andrey Bely's work, followed by a the first published translation of The Dramatic Symphony (by Roger and Angela Keys), its hero struggling against philosophical nihilism. To dramatize the split between the world of matter and the world of the spirit, Bely utilizes musical formal structures and motif variation/development. The remainder of the volume consists of Bely's essay The Forms of Art (translated with an introduction and notes by John Elsworth); 183 pages.
