| | Valerii Yakovlevich Bryusov (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06) |
 | | Born in Moscow to Yakov Kuzmich Bryusov, the son of a freed peasant turned successful businessman, and Matryona Aleksandrovna Bakulina, the daughter of a landed nobleman and minor writer. |
 | | The Wreath (aka Stephanos), the fifth collection, brings Bryusov first major poetic success and constitutes the poet reaching his full maturity, but also demonstrates a rift between himself and the younger generation of Symbolists. |
 | | Disappointed in the direction in which the new generation has taken Symbolism, Bryusov turns his attention to teaching, critical writing, and to his translations of Virgil, Poe, and Armenian poetry. |
