Pyotr Petrovich Pertsov (Пётр Петрович Перцов, 16 June 1868, Kazan, Russian Empire, — May 19, 1947, Moscow, USSR) was a Russian poet, publisher, editor, literary critic, journalist and memoirist associated with the Russian Symbolist movement. ==Biography== Pyotr Petrovich Pertsov was born in Kazan, a son of Pyotr Petrovich, the youngest of the four Pertsov brothers. His uncles Vladimir, Konstantin and Erast were well-known journalists; the latter, a poet, in 1831-1832 was closely linked to Alexander Pushkin. Pyotr Pertsov studied in the 2nd Kazan Gymnasium. In 1887 he enrolled into the Kazan University to study law. He graduated in 1892.〔 In 1890 Pertsov published his first poems in Saint Petersburg newspapers ''Nedelya'' (Week) and ''Novosti'' (News) to some favourable reviews, including the one by Afanasy Fet. In 1892 he became friends with Nikolai Mikhaylovsky and joined the staff of ''Russkoye Bogatstvo'', then a liberal narodnik's magazine, as a head of the bibliography department. The infatuation with narodnichestvo, though, was short-lived and a year later Pertsov quit. In 1894, engaged by his new friends, Valery Bryusov, Dmitry Merezhkovsky and Fyodor Sologub, he started to contribute to ''Severny Vestnik'', the Russian Symbolist movement's early tribune. In 1895 Pertsov compiled and published the ''Young Poetry'' (Молодая поэзия) compilation, featuring the works by Balmont, Bryusov, Minsky and Merezhkovsky. It was followed by his own set of essays ''The Philosophical Trends of the Russian Poetry''. It was Pyotr Pertsov who inspired Merezhkovsky to release his acclaimed book of essays ''The Eternal Companions. Portraits from the World Literature'' (1897). He published the early works of Vasily Rozanov and introduced the latter to the Symbolist circle.〔 In 1898 ''Severny Vestnik'' closed and in 1902 Gippius and Merezkovsky invited Pertsov, now a popular literary entrepreneur, to join their newly founded magazine ''Novy Put'' as an editor/publisher. This entailed a series of disagreements, and in 1904 Dmitry Filosofov succeeded Pertsov as a formal head of this publication. In 1906 Pertsov (whose works were published regularly by ''Mir Iskusstva'', among other magazines) became the editor of newspaper ''Slovo''’s literary supplement. In the early 1910s he started to actively contribute to Alexey Suvorin-led ''Novoye Vremya''.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pyotr Pertsov」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
