Abstract

The article offers an interpretation of six poems from the cycle A Midsummer Night’s Dream (Son v Letniuiu Noch’), one of the most «obscure» cycles in Boris L. Pasternak’s fourth poetry collection Themes and Variations (Temy i Variatsii). The authors demonstrate that the themes of the emergence of art and the circumstances of the first post-revolutionary years — the central themes for the entire volume — may be linked to the Shakespeare’s comedy from which the cycle’s name is drawn.

Keywords

Boris Pasternak, William Shakespeare, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Themes an Variations, Frederic Chopin.
