Title "Four Ways of Writing the City": St. Petersburg-Leningrad as a Metaphor in the poetry of Joseph Brodsky"
Description The present study discusses the theme of St. Petersburg-Leningrad in Joseph Brodsky's verse works. The chosen approach to the evolving im-age of the city in Brodsky's poetry is through four metaphors: St. Peters-burg as "the common place" of the Petersburg Text, St. Petersburg as "Paradise and/or Hell", St. Petersburg as "a Utopian City" and St. Peters-burg as "a Void". This examination of the city-image focusses on the aspects of space and time as basic categories underlying the poet's poetic world view.
