Interpretation Of World Ballad Tradition By Nikolay Gumilev

The article analyses the process of interpretation of the world ballad tradition in the works by Nikolay Gumilev. Gumilev as a poet was very interested in different forms of poems, he studied the experience of the world tradition and tried to use it in his own creations. The ballad tradition has specific interpretation in his poems: the analysis of three ballads showed that Gumilev always used the ideas of light and darkness and his ballads are devoted to the way from dark to light. This way corresponds to the world ballad invariant as a poem about mystical and unexplainable plots. Many ballads in English or German tradition describe the interaction with the world of dead men, the arrival of a ghost in the world of men. But Gumilev uses the concept of ballad as an illustration of inner transformation of lyrical subject: this way from the dark world to the light world refracts the changing in the nature of the subject. Thus, his ballads are always a story of inner transformation – in the example of his poem “The Star Terror” (“Zvezdnyi Uzhas”)
