Abstract
The article deals with a little-known text by L.P. Karsavin published in the journal “Baltic Almanac” in May 1928. Despite its apparent brevity, L.P. Karsavin’s text “On the Actor and the Theatre” absorbed many biographical circumstances of the author’s biography, public discussions that determined Karsavin’s views and assessments of spectacular art, literature, and radical changes in contemporary culture. The study of those largely details and connections, direct and hidden hints given in the article, allows us to better understand the author’s philosophical views and the peculiarities of his personality.
The appendix contains a commented republication of the Karsavinian article.
Supporting agencies: I express my deep gratitude to P. Lavrinets (Vilnius) for his assistance in organizing the publication of L.P. Karsavin’s text
