A study of the intertwining strands that bound Russian poets and composers of the 19th century. Hodge (Russian, Wellesley College) cites examples of literary figures making attempts at musical composition and songwriters trying out verse, for recreation, ideology, experimentation, and other reasons, influenced by crucial aesthetic precepts that arose early in the Romantic period. Hodge shows how frequently and profoundly the two art forms intermingled in the Russian literary universe and how they came into concrete contact in the hybrid medium of vocal music. Annotation c.
