Abstract

This paper investigates Mandel’shtam’s „Разговор о Данте“ both as a piece of literature and as a poetological work. It is argued that the structure of the text allows for an insight in some of the rather abstract notions, first and foremost the notion of “poetical matter” (“poeticheskaia materiia”). Mandel’shtam’s idiosyncratic discussion of Dante’s “Divine comedy”, it is argued, highlights the way in which reality leaves its traits or rather is integrated in a literary text in such a way that it can be brought to life again, at least by an active reader. Apart from the interplay between reality and poetry, the text’s imagery opens a deeper understanding of Mandel’shtam’s poetics in his later poems, i. e. the poems of the 1930s.
