The Poet and the Tragedy: Examining the Instability of the Poet and his World in Vladimir Mayakovsky: a Tragedy
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- Vladimir Mayakovsky's 1913 piece, Vladimir Mayakovsky: a Tragedy, is a landmark artistic work emanating from the early years of Russian Futurism. In this work, the author rejects traditional artistic conventions, permeates the work with instabilities, and depicts the poet as a perpetually unsatisfiable figure. This essay is a close examination of the text, analyzing the unstable nature of the poet and the world around him.
