Afanasy Fet's works as perceived by Aleksandr Blok (using Aleksandr Blok's library as a study case)

The author aims to investigate the influence of Afanasy Fet's work on Aleksandr Blok by analyzing the notes made by Blok when reading. This method makes it possible to address the issue on the basis of factual and therefore more reliable material, and pairing poems for comparison is facilitated by the fact that Fet's side is preselected by Blok's notes. The object of study is Aleksandr Blok's notes in the 1st and 2nd volumes of Afanasy Fet's Complete Works published in 1901.
