Из материалов к биографии Вадима Баяна: письма к Федору Сологубу и Ан. Н. Чеботаревской (вступительная статья, подготовка текста и комментарии А. В. Крусанова и Т. В. Мисникевич)

Abstract

The article presents the letters of the poet Vadim Bayan (Vladimir Ivanovich Sidorov; 1888–1966), remembered mostly in connection with the literary biography of V. V. Mayakovsky, to the prominent symbolist writer Fyodor Sologub and his wife An. N. Chebotarevskaya. The letters outline the psychological portrait of a provincial amateur writer, who tries to penetrate the circle of the metropolitan literary elite, as well as document the nuances of the relationships between the various lite rary groups in 1913–1914.
