Abstract

Marina Tsvetaeva, a distinguished poet of The Silver Age, has formed
her childhood autobiographical prose so that the central theme becomes
her own becoming a poet. This paper analyzes the role of the mother in
such an autobiographical structure and points to techniques used in establishing
matrilineality linked to the aforementioned theme in the text
entitled “Mother and Music”. Additional emphasis is placed on issues of
referentiality and mythologization, closely connected to matrilineality
and genesis of the poet.

Keywords
