| Description: |
This volume contains essays on Russian literature and thought from the classical age. It looks at the important work of well-known authors such as Pushkin and Dostoevsky, relatively unknown writers such as Marlinsky and Boborykin, and studies of thinkers such as Herzen and Chaadaev. |
| Synopsis: |
This volume contains ten essays on Russian literature and thought of the classical age (1820-1880). It aims to strike a balance between important work on well-known authors such as Pushkin, Lermontov, Turgenev and Dostoevsky, and important work of relatively unknown writers such as Marlinsky, Pisemsky and Boborykin, and studies that relate to thinkers, Chaadaev, Herzen and Bakunin. The essays illuminate texts from various angles by examining literary antecedents, biographical information, published and unpublished correspondence, the many stages in the composition of a work, and even ethnographic material. Several contributors make use of material gathered in Soviet archives. In particular the essays show the constant interdependence of literature and thought in 19th century Russia and explore recurrent preoccupations of the Russian intelligentsia, such as the relationship of art to reality, the interrelationships between works of art themselves, and the search for national identity and cultural autonomy. |
