Startlingly original artist and writer, Aleksei Remizov began to make his mark on Russian literature at the turn of the century. Inextricably tied to the rich culture of the Russian Silver Age, Remizov shunned association with any single school, yet his work reflects the many trends and transitions that characterized this exceptionally creative and turbulent time in Russia's cultural history.Slobin's study is the first in English to address Remizov's fiction in its cultural and historical context. A chronological reading of Remizov's early work reflects the novel's transition in Russia from the realist to the modern tradition. Slobin's focus on Remizov's development as a writer also illuminates his experimental explorations of the interaction between Russia's literary and nonliterary heritage, including medieval texts, folklore, and popular culture.In addition to providing extensive analysis of Remizov's longer fiction, considered in stages representative of his artistic and philosophical development, Slobin includes biographical information introducing the reader to aspects of the writer's life that help to elucidate his work. Throughout, the study provides information concerning Remizov's seminal role in the development of modernist Russian prose, a role that opened creative pathways for such important post-revolutionary writers as Zamyatin, Pilnyak, and the Serapion Brothers.

This book presents an array of perspectives on the vivid cultural and literary politics that marked the period immediately after the October Revolution of 1917, when Russian writers had to relocate to Berlin and Paris under harsh conditions. Divided amongst themselves and uncertain about the political and artistic directions of life in the diaspora, these writers carried on two simultaneous literary dialogues: with the emerging Soviet Union and with the dizzying world of European modernism that surrounded them in the West. Chapters address generational differences, literary polemics and experimentation, the heritage of pre-October Russian modernism, and the fate of individual writers and critics, offering a sweeping view of how exiles created a literary diaspora.

This book presents an array of perspectives on the vivid cultural and literary politics that marked the period immediately after the October Revolution of 1917, when Russian writers had to relocate to Berlin and Paris under harsh conditions. Divided amongst themselves and uncertain about the political and artistic directions of life in the diaspora, these writers carried on two simultaneous literary dialogues: with the emerging Soviet Union and with the dizzying world of European modernism that surrounded them in the West. The book's chapters address generational differences, literary polemics and experimentation, the heritage of pre-October Russian modernism, and the fate of individual writers and critics, offering a sweeping view of how exiles created a literary diaspora. The discussion moves beyond Russian studies to contribute to today’s broad, cross-cultural study of the creative side of political and cultural displacement.
