Akmeizm


Acmeism (from akme, gr. akm - summit, higher degree of something, time of prosperity, also adamism, clarism) - modernist direction in Russian poetry and literature, 1912-1932, neo-classicism. He left the critique of symbolism by young artists from the group of poets in 1911-1914. The initiator of the uprising was Nikolay Gumilov, whose chief representatives were Osip Mandelstam, Anna Akhmatov, Mikhail Kuzmin, Sergei Gorodetski. Apollon magazine was the main body of the acme.

The name of this direction is derived from the Greek word akme meaning peak, the climax. The Akmeists preached the departure from ambiguity in poetry (they believed that the essence of things could not be known) in favor of the description of the real world, the reality of what it is, while remembering the unknowable, but not treating it as the main subject. Futurism and symbolism contrasted the return to classicist values ​​and traditions. Bibliography
