  • The Independent Turn in Soviet-Era Russian Poetry: How Dmitry Bobyshev, Joseph Brodsky, Anatoly Naiman and Evgeny Rein Became the ‘Avvakumites’ of Leningrad
    The Independent Turn in Soviet-Era Russian Poetry: How Dmitry Bobyshev, Joseph Brodsky, Anatoly Naiman and Evgeny Rein Became the ‘Avvakumites’ of Leningrad. Margo Shohl Rosen Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2011 © 2011 Margo Shohl Rosen All rights reserved ABSTRACT The Independent Turn in Soviet-Era Russian Poetry: How Dmitry Bobyshev, Joseph Brodsky, Anatoly Naiman and Evgeny Rein Became the ‘Avvakumites’ of Leningrad Margo Shohl Rosen The first post-World War II generation of Soviet Russian writers was faced with a crisis of language even more pervasive and serious than the “Crisis of Symbolism” at the beginning of the 20th century: the level of abstraction and formulaic speech used in public venues had become such that words and phrases could only gesture helplessly in the direction of mysterious meaning. Due to the traditional status of poetry in Russian culture and to various other factors explored in this dissertation, the generation of poets coming of age in the mid-1950s was in a unique position to spearhead a renewal of language. Among those who took up the challenge was a group of four friends in Leningrad: Dmitry Bobyshev, Joseph Brodsky, Anatoly Naiman, and Evgeny Rein. Because of the extreme position this group adopted regarding the use of language, I refer to them in this work not as “Akhmatova’s Orphans”—a term commonly applied to the quartet—but as literary “Avvakumites,” a name Anna Akhmatova suggested that invokes the history of Archpriest Avvakum, who by rejecting reforms in church ritual founded the Orthodox sect now known as Old Believers.

Degree awarded June 2020 ii © 2020 Daria S. Smirnova iii DISSERTATION ABSTRACT Daria S. Smirnova Doctor of Philosophy Department of Comparative Literature June 2020 Title: The Language Zone: Joseph Brodsky and the Making of a Bilingual Poet My dissertation unites several aspects of Joseph Brodsky’s writing under the arc of his development as a bilingual and transnational writer. I make the case that Brodsky’s poetic sensibility was originally transnational, i.e. exhibited an affinity with both foreign and domestic poetic traditions in pursuit of its own original poetics. I establish the trope of a speaker alone in a room as a leading poetic concept of Brodsky’s neo-Metaphysical style. The poems that are centered on this trope do not refer explicitly to the poetry of the British Baroque through intertextual references or imitation, which attests to the ability of Brodsky’s transnationally oriented poetry to process foreign traditions with subtlety and to incorporate key elements of it fully within his own idiom.

    Russian Literature and Its Historical Background Russian literature was developing in the country which was under ceaseless pressure of Eastern raiders. For centuries, Russia actually acted as a European barrier – the fact the Europeans were not always aware of, and, on the contrary, the fact made the Russians to believe in their messianic role and right to the world leadership. Face to face with the outer danger and due to internal arrangement, which was given by important historical events which were moving Russia away from the rest of Europe (the East-West Schism or the Mongol invasion), in Russia the individual was suppressed (Karel Havlíček Borovský mentions in his Pictures from Russia, 1843-1846, that the price of a Russian peasant, a serf, is much lower than the price paid for an English thoroughbred), while collectiveness and group spirit (sobornosť) is accented.

In the liberal atmosphere of the 1850s and the 1860s, literature was often seen as more or less direct reflection of political movements.1 The Russian Empire gradually started to present itself as a typical multinational and multicultural country with a changeable attitude of the majority ethnic group towards other nations and their freedom and also as a target country of a number of foreign families and individuals (under Peter I and also before the Germans, later on the Dutch and the English, after the revolution the French, and continuously also the Poles, etc.).
