JUDAIC SPIRITUAL TRADITIONS IN THE POETRY OF PASTERNAK AND MANDEL'SHTAM(1).(Boris Pasternak, Osip Mandel'shtam)

From: Symposium | Date: January 1, 1999| Author: EPSTEIN, MIKHAIL; Rischin, Ruth | Copyright information

The poetry of Boris Pasternak and Osip Mandel'shtam share some points of comparison and contrast. Although both writers were informed by Judaic spiritual traditions, Pasternak's work is light and swift while Mandel'shtam's moves heavily and steadfastly toward its goal. Mandel'shtam came from the scholarly world, while Pasternak saw the world in terms of free play. Mandel'shtam was influenced by the Talmud, and Pasternak was more of a Hasid.
