Ivan Konevskoi: "Wise Child" of Russian Symbolism is the first study in any language of Ivan Konevskoi--poet, thinker, mystic--for many decades the "lost genius" of Russian modernism. A fresh and compelling figure, Konevskoi plunged deeply into the currents of modern mystical thought and art in the 1890s. A passionate searcher for immortality, he developed his own version of pantheism meant to guard his unique persona from dissolution in the All-One. The poetry of Tiutchev, Vladimir Solov'ev Soloviev and Rossetti, William James's psychology, paintings of Pre-Raphaelites and Arnold Boecklin, Old Russian historical myth, the Finnish Kalevala: all engaged him during his brief life. His worldview grew more audacious, his confidence in the magical power of the word grew more assured. Drowning in 1901 at 23, Konevskoi left a legacy unfinished, rich, and intriguing.

In this volume, Professor Ljunggren introduces the Symbolists and their feverish expectations in detail. Theirs was a time when for a brief moment everything seemed possible. Then came the rude awakening, best described in Bely's powerful prose masterpiece Petersburg, which serves as the connective thread and recurrent point of reference throughout this collection. Written in the early 1910s, just before the world war that was to culminate in the so-called October Revolution, Bely's novel portrays the collective experience of the Symbolists as an attempted political parricide. Many of the essays included in this volume are appearing in English for the first time.

Il volume, nato dall’esigenza di rivalutare l’esperienza teatrale simbolista affrancandola dall’annoso pregiudizio sulla sua anti-teatralità, propone una ricostruzione storico-biografica della figura di Lugné-Poe – attore, regista, direttore, nonché principale animatore del teatro simbolista francese – e del suo teatro, l’Œuvre, per riconoscerne i tentativi di sperimentazione scenica. Ripercorrendo la prima parte della vita del protagonista di questa affascinante stagione, lo studio traccia – con un criterio rigorosamente cronologico – un capitolo fondamentale della storia del teatro, affrontato finora quasi unicamente dal punto di vista della teoria, della poetica e dell’analisi testuale. Partendo da un attento studio del contesto della nascita del teatro simbolista, la ricostruzione delle fortune alterne dell’Œuvre si sofferma, stagione per stagione, sui singoli spettacoli e sulla loro fortuna critica, oltre che sulle vicende interne delle relazioni umane e professionali intrattenute con artisti, scrittori, poeti, attori che per una ragione o per l’altra sfiorarono le vicende del teatro. Il volume, frutto di un ampio lavoro di documentazione, ricontestualizza l’esperienza dell’Œuvre alla luce della consapevolezza contemporanea, rilevandone l’importanza per gli sviluppi delle avanguardie e dando inoltre maggiore spessore alla personalità di Lugné-Poe, da cui la scelta di un taglio biografico che, attraverso la ricostruzione di una vicenda professionale tanto ricca, arrivi a descrivere l’uomo, testimone e attore di un momento epocale di trasformazione.
