Beskrivning

Developed as a reader for upper division undergraduates and beginning graduate students, this book offers a broad variety of materials contextualizing the texts most frequently read in Russian literature courses at this level. These approaches cover critical- theoretical articles, cultural and historical analyses, literary manifestos and declarations of literary aesthetics, memoirs of revolutionary terrorism and arrests by the NKVD, political denunciations and “literary vignettes” capturing the spirit of its particular time in a nutshell. From Symbolism to Socialist Realism evokes and illuminates the key areas of a complex and tragic era.

Recensioner i media

"The first third of the twentieth century saw immense cultural, political and technological changes, and in Russia those processes played out in literature. In this unique reader, Masing-Delic collects in one volume invaluable English translations of key Russian texts, from manifestos of poetic and revolutionary positions to poems, songs, diary entries and excerpts from memoirs. With some of the best English-language critical articles on the period, the volume functions as a primer on late imperial and early Soviet culture. Cultural contexts include the emigre community in Europe after the Bolshevik Revolution, Stalinism, and World War II. Perfect for the classroom or for those who want to explore Russian literary culture on their own. Masing-Delic has done the profession and the general reader a great service with From Symbolism to Socialist Realism."
