MARMELADOV''S SOLILOQUY IN BLOK''S EARLY WORKS
In Alexander Blok's early works one can find a lot of references to F.M.Dostoevsky. One of the early references to the writer's poetics is the dramatic version of Marmeladov's soliloquy (Crime and Punishment novel). Blok once saw a staging of the novel, where Marmeladov was performed by V.P.Dalmatov, who the poet, keen on recitation and theatre and dreaming about playing tragic roles, admired. The soliloquy had a similar topic to young Blok's poetic creativity. Block included Marmeladov's soliloquy into the list of his recitations and also mentioned it in the list of the sources and preparation materials for his first theoretic article on the newest Russian poetry. One can see the understanding of Dostoevsky's works through Marmeladov's soliloquy in Blok's later articles, as he contemplated about the mutial interraction of theatre and lyrics.
