V. V. Weidle (1895–1979), an art critic, philologist, literary critic, professor at the Paris Theological Institute, was not only one of the brightest thinkers of the Russian diaspora, but also a major writer. “The finest sense of verbal nuances, unmistakable taste, absolute pitch,” E. G. Etkind noted as the unconditional advantages of Weidle’s style. The main themes of the works of V. V. Veidle: cultural ties between Russia and Europe, the fate of Russian poets, the fate of European art in the 19th-20th centuries, the deep patterns of reader perception of the text.This publication is the first to represent Veidle's work in so full in Russia.
