Abstract:

The article discusses the peculiar poetics of Andrey Bely’s symbolist “novel-myth”. The mythological-poetic structure of “The Silver Dove” as a symbolist “text-myth” implies a special type of narration oriented towards heterogeneous artistic language. Andrey Bely’s short novel is characterized by complex narrative architectonics based on stylization and orientation to the third party’s speech.

Keywords: symbolist “text-myth”, Andrey Bely, poetics, narration, stylization.
