Beskrivning

For many nineteenth-century Russians, poetry was woven into everyday life-in conversation and correspondence, scrapbook albums, and parlor entertainments. Blending close literary analysis with social and cultural history, Daria Khitrova shows how poetry lovers of the period all became nodes in a vast network of literary appreciation and constructed meaning. Poetry during the Golden Age was not a one-way avenue from author to reader. Rather, it was participatory, interactive, and performative.Lyric Complicity helps modern readers recover Russian poetry’s former uses and functions-life situations that moved people to quote or perform a specific passage from a poem or a forgotten occasion that created unforgettable verse.

Recensioner i media

We need this book. It addresses a number of important issues that most literary critics and scholars have been aware of, but that no one has attempted to bring together. Moreover, it offers a bold cumulative interpretation of Russian poetic culture of the so-called Golden Age." - Ilya Vinitsky, Princeton University"Khitrova is a sensitive reader, and she writes provocatively, incisively, at times even wittily. She is extremely knowledgeable about both primary literature and secondary sources." - Michael Wachtel, author of A Commentary to Pushkin's Lyric Poetry, 1826-1836
