ARCHITECTURAL STRUCTURE OF MODERNIST PROSE (M. PROUST AND O. MANDELSTAM)

Abstract

The article examines the comparative aspect of modernist literary practices of the early 20th century. To demonstrate Studi on «Russian-French relations» the author presents Proust’s essay «Death comes to the Cathedrals», little known to the Russian public, and Mandelstam’s articles «Francois Villon» and «Conversation about Dante». Introduction to the text of images of architectural structures becomes fundamental to Proust, as he created «In Search of Lost Time « by analogy with a cathedral. For Mandelstam the attitude to the artist as «an architect» can be traced to the earliest publications. This coincidence in creative interests, both authors owe to a new understanding of time, which is usually associated with the name of A. Bergson. Different ways of «reification» of this time through metaphors and symbolic language of architecture constitute the main subject of the article.
