Download or read book Memoirs and Madness written by Frederick H. White and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2006 with total page 357 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Memoirs and Madness examines memoir as a literary genre and investigates how Leonid Andreev's posthumous legacy was influenced by the writing of his contemporaries. A Book About Leonid Andreev (1922), which includes the work of renowned Russian authors such as Belyi, Blok, Chukovskii, Chulkov, Gor'kii, Teleshov, Zaitsev, and Zamiatin, has had an impact on how Andreev has been read and spoken about since his death. While past scholarship has focused on the philosophical and sociological factors in Andreev's life, Frederick White pays special attention to the author's history of mental illness, described by the memoirists with vague terms such as "creative energy" or "inner turmoil."" --Résumé de l'éditeur.

Download or read book The Little Angel and Other Stories written by Leonid Andreyev and published by . This book was released on 2019-11-28 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Andreyev (1871-1919) was a Russian playwright, novelist and short story writer who is considered to be a father of Expressionism in Russian literature, and whose style combines elements of realist, naturalist and symbolist schools. After his father's death he was thrown upon his own resources, but managed to study at both Petrograd and Moscow Universities, graduating in Law in 1897. During this period he endured great hardship and was the victim of deep melancholia. His first writings were unsuccessful and for a time he devoted himself to painting. Later he came into touch with the Russian press as police-court reporter for a leading newspaper. His first short story Bargamot and Graska attracted the attention of Gorky who recommended that he concentrated on his literary work and he remained friends with Gorky through whom he joined the Moscow Sreda literary group. His first collection of stories and short novels appeared in 1901, quickly selling a quarter of a million copies and making him a literary celebrity, and he went on to publish numerous stories on many subjects, including life in Russian provincial settings, court and prison incidents, and medical themes. His particular interest in psychology and psychiatry is evident in his insightful explorations into the human psyche. Regarded as Russia's equivalent to Edgar Allan Poe, translations of Andreyev's work found a ready audience in the English-speaking world and this collection was published by Knopf in America in 1916.

After his father's death he was thrown upon his own resources, but managed to study at both Petrograd and Moscow Universities, graduating in Law in 1897. During this period he endured great hardship—often even actual hunger—and was the victim of deep melancholia. His first writings were unsuccessful; and, for a time, he devoted himself to painting. Later he came into touch with the Russian press as police-court reporter for a leading newspaper. The story "The Little Angel" (1899) about a teenager - half-hungry, offended by the whole world "wolf cub". Once on a holiday in a rich house, he saw an angel on a Christmas tree.

Download or read book Degeneration decadence and disease in the Russian fin de si cle written by Frederick White and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2015-11-01 with total page 397 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Early in the twentieth century, Russia was experiencing a decadent period of cultural degeneration just as science was developing ways to identify medical conditions which supposedly reflected the health of the entire nation. Leonid Andreev, the leading literary figure of his time, stepped into the breach of this scientific discourse with literary works about degenerates. The spirited social debates on mental illness, morality and sexual deviance which resulted from these works became part of the ongoing battle over the definition and depiction of the irrational, complicated by Andreev’s own publicised bouts with neurasthenia. This book examines the concept of pathology in Russia, the influence of European medical discourse, the development of Russian psychiatry, and the role that it had in popular culture, by investigating the life and works of Andreev. It engages the emergence of psychiatry and the role that art played in the development of this objective science.

But a few years ago the most popular and successful of Russian writers, Andreyev died almost penniless, a sad, tragic figure, disillusioned, broken-hearted over the tragedy of Russia. A year ago Leonid Andreyev wrote me that he was eager to come to America, to study this country and familiarize Americans with the fate of his unfortunate countrymen. I arranged for his visit to this country and informed him of this by cable. But on the very day I sent my cable the sad news came from Finland announcing that Leonid Andreyev died of heart failure.
