Pages : 366
Book Description
Excerpt from Russian Essays and Stories My Dear Evan, - This book, which you expressed a wish I should dedicate to you, consists of short essays and stories dealing entirely with Russian subjects. These essays (which deal with Russia) are in no sense political. I will not go so far as to say they are uninteresting; such modesty is, as Bacon once pointed out, a gross form of boasting; besides which it is a mistake. If one underrates one's wares one is taken at one's word. I have found this out to my cost. Once when I was competing in a Civil Service Examination, and appeared as a candidate in the German viva voce, the German examiner asked me if I could speak German. "Yes, a little," I answered modestly. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Fruits of Her Plume: Essays on Contemporary Russian Women's Culture
Author: Helena Goscilo
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317470036
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 303
Book Description
The 1980s witnessed the ascendency of Russian women in multiple spheres of artistic creation, including literature, film, and painting. This volume may thus be said to engage not only women's artistic production but, indeed, the best and most colourful of recent Russian culture. Treating contemporary Russian women's creativity, it approaches women's texts, films, and canvasses from a range of perspectives, from anti-gendered to feminist. Some of the essays introduce writers not previously well studied, others challenge conventional interpretations and assumptions, while still others yield original viewpoints through novel juxtapositions. In addition to offering insights into the various artists under analysis, the essays map the wide terrain of issues and methodologies proliferating in cultural criticism today, and mirror the diversity that is one of the most appealing features of women's creativity in contemporary Russia.

Russian Formalist Criticism
Author: Lee T. Lemon
Publisher: U of Nebraska Press
ISBN: 9780803254602
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 166
Book Description
"Some of the most important literary theory of this century."--College English Russian formalists emerged from the Russian Revolution with ideas about the independence of literature. They enjoyed that independence until Stalin shut them down. By then they had produced essays that remain among the best defenses ever written for both literature and its theory. Included here are four essays representing key points in the formalists' short history. Victor Scklovsky's pathbreaking "Art as Technique" (1917) vindicates disorder in literary style. His 1921 essay on Tristram Shandy makes that eccentric novel the centerpiece for a theory of narrative. A section from Tomashevsky's "Thematics" (1925) inventories the elements of stories. In "The Theory of the 'Formal Method'" (1927) Boris Eichenbaum defends Russian formalism from many attacks. An able champion, he describes formalism's evolution, notes its major workers and works, clears away decayed axioms, and rescues literature from "primitive historicism" and other dangers. These essays set a course for literary studies that led to Prague structuralism, French semiotics, and postmodern poetics. Russian Formalist Criticism has been honored as a Choice Outstanding Academic Book of the Year by the American Library Association.
