From the Notes of a Commentator. 4. About S.N. Durylin’s Works on Symbolism

Abstract

The notes offer some additional data (including the ones based on the funds of the State Academy of Artistic Sciences — GAKhN) concerning Sergei Durylin’s lectures and articles of the 1925–26 on the early Russian decadent Alexander Dobroliubov, Charles Baudelaire and Russian Symbolism. Published 90 years later, these works however were well-known in the 1920s due to the discussions at the State Academy of Artistic Sciences, where Durylin’s lectures assembled a wide audience of writers and scholars.
