Abstract

Using archival materials as well as contemporary publications, the essay traces Ellis’ development from his early poetic compositions to his poetry books “Stigmata” (1911) and “Argo” (1914), both of which appeared in the Moscow Symbolist publishing house “Musagetes.” Consideration is also given to evaluations of these books in the periodical press. The author concludes that a new edition of the Moscow books is necessary, which would discuss textological issues, supply commentary and also observe the poet’s structural wishes and the books’ compositional peculiarities.
