ISBN: 978-952-92-5831-4 (Paperback) ISBN: 978-952-10-5670-3 (PDF) Helsinki University Print Helsinki 2009 Dedication To the memory of Stephen Frederick Apperson (1948-1985) and Laimi Sophia Huhta Broemer (1922-2007) Abstract Important modernists in their own countries, Anna Akhmatova and Edith Södergran are compared in this dissertation as poets whose poetry reflects the climactic events of the early twentieth century in Finland and Russia. A comparatist, biographical and historical approach is used to uncover the circumstances surrounding these events. First the poets’ early works are reviewed and their contemporaries are mentioned to provide a poetic context. Then a brief review of Finnish and Russian history situates them historically. Next, the rich literary diversity of St. Petersburg’s Silver Age is presented and the work of the poets is viewed in context before their poetry is compared, as the First World War, October Revolution and subsequent Finnish Civil War impact their writing. While biography is not the primary focus, it becomes important as inevitably the writers’ lives are changed by cataclysmic events and the textual analysis of the poems in Swedish, Russian and English shows the impact of war on their poetry. These two poets have not been compared before in a critical review in English and this work contributes to needed work in English. They share certain common modernist traits: attention to the word, an intimate, unconventional voice, and a concern with audience. In addition, they both reject formal traditions while they adopt new forms and use modern, outside influences such as art, architecture and philosophy as subject matter and a lens through which to focus their poetry. While it may seem that Anna Akhmatova was the most socially aware poet, because of the censorship she endured under Stalin, my research has revealed that actually Edith Södergran showed the most social consciousness. Thus, a contrast of the poets’ themes reveals these differences in their approaches. Both poets articulated a vibrant response to war and revolution becoming modernists in the process. In their final works created in the years before their deaths, they reveal the solace they found in nature as well as final mentions of the violent events of their youth. Keywords: St. Petersburg, Modernism, Symbolism, Acmeism, Silver Age, Finland-Swedish literature Acknowledgements This work began as an independent study project at the University of Helsinki under the auspices of The Fulbright Foundation in 2000-2001. Thus, I am first most grateful to that organization and to The Fulbright Center in Finland for supporting my original idea. Professor Merete Mazzarella was kind enough to give me approval to begin my research in Finland. Since then the Faculty of Arts and Professors Hannu Riikonen and Heta Pyrhönen of the Department of Comparative Literature have been steadfast advisors and supporters and I owe them a great deal for their perseverance in supporting my unusual multi-lingual project. Eminent scholar Riikonen guided me in my study of the historical and literary history of Finland and Dr. Pyrhönen was an exacting reader of many drafts and offered numerous constructive suggestions. The pre-examiners of my thesis, Professor Reet Sool of the University of Tartu, Estonia and Professor Leena Kirstinä of the University of Jyväskylä, Finland have provided invaluable comments and ideas to help me arrive at the final document. I am very grateful for their scholarly and poetic direction. I am very grateful for the financial support of Svenska kulturfonden in the early stages, which made it possible for me to continue my studies. I have also had the support of numerous colleagues and fellow scholars in the Finnish- Swedish- and Russian-speaking community in Finland and I especially want to thank Birgitta Bouchts, Leena Ellitä, Paul Graves, Roger Holmström, Holger Lillqvist, Kai Mikkonen, Agneta Rahikainen, Veronica Shenshin, Ljuba Tarvi, Henrikka Zilliacus-Tikkanen, and Bitte Westerlund for their interest in and support of my work. They answered questions, directed me to libraries and books and generally guided me in the multi-lingual academic community in Finland. Throughout most of my research, I have also worked as an English Language teacher at the University of Helsinki Language Centre and I have appreciated the moral and technical support of my colleagues there in the English section, especially Felicity Kjisik and Tuula Lehtonen. In addition, I have especially appreciated the help of Elina Anttila, and Camilla Boije with translations. Finally, I could not have accomplished this daunting task without the support of people too numerous to name--my friendship-family in Finland, the women of the American Women’s Club, Fulbright colleagues in the ASLA-Fulbright Alumni Association, and an independent group of women known as The Witches. Their continued support in my darkest hours was unwarranted, but gratefully accepted. Especially the memory of Pearl Lönnfors will forever be entwined with this long project. My newfound Finnish family has welcomed me to Finland and encouraged me in countless ways. I am forever grateful to have met all of those who have descended from Maria and Juha Lepistö in Pohjanmaa. My own birth family in the United States has had to endure my prolonged absence and I am especially happy that they have not forgotten me—thanks to Suzanne, Jessi, and Clint and their families, and also to my Mother-in-law, Maxine Apperson, for their unfailing love. Despite all of the outside influences I have used in order to produce my final work, I must take responsibility for any errors or fact or interpretation. WAR AND REVOLUTION IN ST.

His death in that conflict meant that this was a career that lasted barely twenty years; however it comprised a large range of creative endeavours. Although all these facets of Whistler’s career are touched upon, the main focus is on his work in murals and the fields of advertising and commercial design. The thesis goes beyond the remit of a purely biographical stance and places Whistler’s career in context by looking at the contemporary art world in which he worked, and the private, commercial and public commissions he secured. In doing so, it aims to provide a more comprehensive account of Whistler’s achievement than has been afforded in any of the existing literature or biographies. This deeper examination of the artist’s practice has been made possible by considerable amounts of new factual information derived from the Whistler Archive and other archival sources.

Smirnova Master of Arts Russian, East European, and Eurasian Studies Program September 2012 Title: The Petersburg Text in Russian Literature of the 1990s The image of Saint Petersburg has influenced the imagination of Russian writers since the establishment of this city in 1703. Today, it is common to speak about the Petersburg Text in Russian literature that has its own mythology, imagery, and stylistics. However, the research in this sphere is predominately concentrated on works written before the second half of the 20th century. This thesis addresses the revival of the Petersburg mythology in the 1990s in works by such authors as Mikhail Veller, Andrei Konstantinov, and Marusia Klimova. It illustrates how the reinvention of traditional Petersburg themes contributed to the representation of the “wild 1990s” reality.

But St. Petersburg’s three centuries have matured its material authenticity, recognizable tableaux and unique urban narratives, chiefly the Petersburg Text. The three of these, intertwined in their formation and development, created a distinctive place-identity. The aura arising from this distinctiveness functioned as a marketable code not only for St. Petersburg’s heritage industry, but also for a future-oriented engagement with post-Soviet hypercapitalism. Reflecting on both up-to-date scholarship and the actual cityscapes themselves, my dissertation will focus on the imaginative landscapes in the historic center of St.

ISBN : 0399112626 Foreword IN MARCH, 1917, Lenin was living in Zurich in poverty, the exiled head of a small extremist revolutionary party that had relatively little following even within Russia. Eight months later, he assumed the rule of 160,000,000 people occupying one-sixth of the inhabited surface of the world. The Sealed Train is the story of those thirty-four fantastic weeks. The train itself and the bizarre journey across Germany, then at war with Russia, are a vital and dramatic link in the story. For without the train, Lenin could not have reached St. Petersburg when he did, and if Lenin had not returned to Russia, the history of the world would have been very different. For not one of his comrades had the sense of timing, the strength of will, the mental agility, the subtle understanding of the ever-changing mood of the people and the sheer intellectual power of Lenin.

  • Anna Akhmatova - Poems
    Classic Poetry Series Anna Akhmatova - poems - Publication Date: 2012 Publisher: Poemhunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive Anna Akhmatova(23 June 1889 – 5 March 1966) Anna Andreyevna Gorenko, better known by the pen name Anna Akhmatova, was a Russian and Soviet modernist poet, one of the most acclaimed writers in the Russian canon. Akhmatova's work ranges from short lyric poems to intricately structured cycles, such as Requiem (1935–40), her tragic masterpiece about the Stalinist terror. Her style, characterised by its economy and emotional restraint, was strikingly original and distinctive to her contemporaries. The strong and clear leading female voice struck a new chord in Russian poetry. Her writing can be said to fall into two periods - the early work (1912–25) and her later work (from around 1936 until her death), divided by a decade of reduced literary output. Her work was condemned and censored by Stalinist authorities and she is notable for choosing not to emigrate, and remaining in Russia, acting as witness to the atrocities around her. Her perennial themes include meditations on time and memory, and the difficulties of living and writing in the shadow of Stalinism. Primary sources of information about Akhmatova's life are relatively scant, as war, revolution and the totalitarian regime caused much of the written record to be destroyed. For long periods she was in official disfavour and many of those who were close to her died in the aftermath of the revolution. <b>Early life and family</b> Akhmatova was born at Bolshoy Fontan, near the Black Sea port of Odessa.
