Andrej Belyj's 'Petersburg', James Joyce's 'Ulysses', and the Symbolist Movement
Author: Alexander Woronzoff
Publisher: Peter Lang Group Ag, International Academic Publishers
ISBN:
Category : Symbolism (Literary movement).
Languages : en
Pages : 232
Book Description
This book is an analysis of Joyce's and Belyj's appropriation and adaptation of symbolist poetic devices in the novels Ulysses and Petersburg. Of central importance is Joyce's use of epiphany and Belyj's use of the aesthetic symbol. They are units of meaning that create countless associations by expanding to ever widening areas of significance and then returning upon themselves. To achieve a structure based on epiphany and symbol, Joyce and Belyj make use of devices such as the creation of correspondences through metaphorical analogy, interior monologue and stream of consciousness, synesthesia, musical effects and refrain, leitmotif, linguistic and technical virtuosity, and an allusive construction.

A Reader's Guide to Andrei Bely's "Petersburg"
Author: Leonid Livak
Publisher: University of Wisconsin Press
ISBN: 029931930X
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 281
Book Description
Andrei Bely's 1913 masterwork Petersburg is widely regarded as the most important Russian novel of the twentieth century. Vladimir Nabokov ranked it with James Joyce's Ulysses, Franz Kafka's Metamorphosis, and Marcel Proust's In Search of Lost Time. Few artistic works created before the First World War encapsulate and articulate the sensibility, ideas, phobias, and aspirations of Russian and transnational modernism as comprehensively. Bely expected his audience to participate in unraveling the work's many meanings, narrative strains, and patterns of details. In their essays, the contributors clarify these complexities, summarize the intellectual and artistic contexts that informed Petersburg's creation and reception, and review the interpretive possibilities contained in the novel. This volume will aid a broad audience of Anglophone readers in understanding and appreciating Petersburg.

Carnival Culture and the Soviet Modernist Novel
Author: Craig Brandist
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 1349251208
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 271
Book Description
This book examines the work of five Soviet prose writers - Olesha, Platonov, Kharms, Bulgakov and Vaginov - in the light of the carnivalesque elements of Russian popular culture. It shows that while Bakhtin's account of carnival culture sheds considerable light on the work of these writers, they need to be considered with reference to both the concrete forms of Russian and Soviet popular culture and the changing institutional framework of Soviet society in the 1920s and 1930s.
