К типологии литературных объединений в дореволюционной России

The article proposes a typology of literary associations in the Silver Age, based on three formal (functional) criteria: degree of socialization, degree of formalization and degree of officialization. The result is a tripartite typology of literary associations: salons, circles and societies. Additionally, the article discusses also adjacent forms of literary community describable with the application of the indicated typological criteria: literary banquets (dinners), writers jubilees, death anniversaries, and public funerals of writers.
