Детство - юность - старость в творчестве З. Н. Гиппиус

Abstract

The article deals with the conceptual content of the categories childhood - youth - old age in the creative activity of Gippius who called herself "a grandmother of Russian decadence". The aim of the study is to specify the temporal model typical of the author. Inspired (together with Merezhkovskiy) by the idea of "apocalyptic Christianity", presupposing a linear model of the time stretching from the world cre­ation to its end and transfiguration, Gippius propagated a synthesis of spirit and flesh, earth and heaven, religion and culture, and assured that this synthesis opened the door to eternity. In fiction, the situation is slightly different: not an apocalyptic break up, but a spiral development involving the use of traditions and cultural continuity.

В статье рассматривается концептуальное наполнение и художественное воплощение возрастных категорий в творчестве З. Н. Гиппиус.
