Abstract:

The article analyzes the metrics and stanza repertoire of Z.N. Gippius` poetry. The main individual features of the repertoire are determined, allowing to talk about the special place of Gippius poetry in Russian poetry of the Silver Age. The most interesting poetic phenomena characteristic of Gippius poetry are examined in detail: the combination of syllabotonics and tonics in one text, a free verse, experiments with rhyme, a tendency towards the most rigorous sonnet form.

Keywords: Gippius, verse, syllabotoncs, tonics, vers libre, experimental rhyme, sonnet.
