Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Short History of Russian Literature The period of the greatest activity of the two brothers was during their residence in Moravia. The Moravian princes, seeing that the people were unable to apprehend even the elementary truths of Christianity, addressed them selves to the Byzantine Emperor Michael; who selected Cyril for the purpose. The success of the Slavonic mission in Moravia, aroused and alarmed the German Hierarchy which, dreading the loss of its influence on the Moravians impugned these first missioners before Pope Nicholas I. The Pope summoned the brothers to Rome for trial, but it was his successor Adrian II who heard them, and so far from letting them be tried, made Methodius a Bishop and sent him to Moravia where he lived for sixteen years more. Cyril, worn out with toil, died at Rome. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of Russian Literature: With a Lexicon of Russian Authors That the kingdoms of Europe are daily becoming more exposed to the risk of being subjugated by the barbarism of Russia, is the constant theme of declamation among a numerous and influential party in this country. It will be evident, however, on the slightest reflection, that it is not the barbarism of Russia which is to be dreaded, but her civilisation. Not only year after year is some new province added to the formidable acquisitions of the imperial sceptre, but day after day the internal resources of the people are becoming more and more developed, and the Russian language is rendered richer in its attractions in the same proportion as it is more widely diffused in extent.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Russia possesses one of the richest and most admired literatures of Europe, reaching back to the eleventh century. A History of Russian Literature provides a comprehensive account of Russian writing from its earliest origins in the monastic works of Kiev up to the present day, still rife with the creative experiments of post-Soviet literary life. The volume proceeds chronologically in five parts, extending from Kievan Rus' in the 11th century to the present day. The coverage strikes a balance between extensive overview and in-depth thematic focus. Parts are organized thematically in chapters, which a number of keywords that are important literary concepts that can serve as connecting motifs and 'case studies', in-depth discussions of writers, institutions, and texts that take the reader up close and personal. Visual material also underscores the interrelation of the word and image at a number of points, particularly significant in the medieval period and twentieth century. The History addresses major continuities and discontinuities in the history of Russian literature across all periods, and in particular brings out trans-historical features that contribute to the notion of a national literature. The volume's time range has the merit of identifying from the early modern period a vital set of national stereotypes and popular folklore about boundaries, space, Holy Russia, and the charismatic king that offers culturally relevant material to later writers. This volume delivers a fresh view on a series of key questions about Russia's literary history, by providing new mappings of literary history and a narrative that pursues key concepts (rather more than individual authorial careers). This holistic narrative underscores the ways in which context and text are densely woven in Russian literature, and demonstrates that the most exciting way to understand the canon and the development of tradition is through a discussion of the interrelation of major and minor figures, historical events and literary politics, literary theory and literary innovation.

Download or read book Russian Literature Classic Reprint written by Horace P. Biddle and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-24 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Russian Literature Since the Crimean'war, in 1855, the power of Russia, although it suffered in that contest, has been much more noticed by other nations than it had been before; and since the abolition of serfdom in her dominion, in 1861, her government has become a study for other statesmen besides her own: but no nation yet has given her literature more than a pass ing notice. The reason may be plain. 'her great military power is felt by the world, and her policy, in reference to the law of nations, has its influence, but her literature, which will ultimately represent the best results of all. Her powers, is not yet established. Perhaps her banner may yet wave, her policy rule, and her language be heard, from the chilling snows of Siberia to the burning rays of Good hopel - for she is rapidly availing herself of the science, art, and skill of other nations - if so, then her literature will be known to the world; for the school and college, in the range of time, are more powerful than the cabinet and the field.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of Russian Literature In the year 1834 the great Biélinski, on his maiden appearance as a literary critic, bestowed the following epigraph, borrowed from one of his fellow-critics, Senkowski, on his first essay: - "Do we possess a literature?" "No, we have nothing but a book-trade!" Eighteen months later, he began to publish a half-yearly Review under this somewhat confusing title, - Nothings about Nothing. Hence we may conceive what the country of Pouch-kine, of Gogol, of Tourgueniev, and of Tolstoi has gained by the labour of the past half-century. For this labour has not confined itself to the amassing of a treasure-house of conceptions, exquisite or stately. It has endowed the nation that conceived them, and Bielinski himself as well, with the conscious possession of a national genius, the anterior manifestations of which had escaped appreciation, because they had been judged from the æsthetic point of view only, and not from that historical standpoint which alone befitted them.
