Article
Fyodor Sologub was a symbolist poet, novelist and playwright, who was known for his decadent style of writing and his elaborate personal mythology centered on myths of the sun, light and death. His best-known work, The Petty Demon (1907), thematizes banality and is deeply pessimistic. Born in St. Petersburg on March 1, 1863, Sologub died in Leningrad on December 5, 1927.
