Pushkin’s poetic imagination. Gillespi A.

The book includes essays created for more than a quarter century (1996–2019). They examine the unexpected aspects of Pushkin’s poetic imagination, which go beyond generally accepted ideas about the basics of Pushkin’s aesthetics, such as simplicity, harmony and clarity. From this analysis, a new understanding of Pushkin arises - as a poet, who always realized with anxiety that his work requires a transgression of the norms of not only social and political, but also aesthetic and ethical, and did not escape from this thought. Therefore, his works are permeated with motives for moral uncertainty, they are addressed to the issues of responsibility, guilt and conscience.
