Andrey Bely, a leading writer of the Russian Symbolist movement, develops prose as a form of expression on the basis of Wagner's musical techniques. Dr Steinberg discusses the analogy between music and poetry or prose in the first half and specific devices employed by Bely in the second. Through this analysis, Dr Steinberg is able to throw light on much that is obscure and difficult in Bely's novels.
