Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Russian Epic Studies, 1947, Vol. 42Among Western scholars the conviction has long existed that medieval Russia produced little in literary art and culture comparable to the early achievements in epic poetry, verse tales, and in prose in the vernaculars of Western Europe. To a certain extent, early nineteenth-century Russian apologists of native medieval culture helped to promote this false notion.Subsequent collectors, scholars, and literary historians, however, have conclusively established that Russian literature during the first two centuries of its existence (eleventh and twelfth) not only assimilated important genres of medieval Byzantine literature, but on the basis of them produced many original works of distinction in those genres which were also typical of medieval Western European literature. As in the medieval West, no doubt a great deal of what was written in Kievan Rus' has been lost to us, but that which has survived is considerable in bulk, and much of it testifies to the fact that early Russian literary culture reached a high point of genuine creative growth until it was checked by barbarian incursions from the steppes and then retarded for some time by the severity of the Tatar yoke.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book A History of Russian Literature written by Andrew Kahn and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018-04-13 with total page 1202 pages. 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 Epic Revisionism written by Kevin M. F. Platt and published by Univ of Wisconsin Press. This book was released on 2006-02-23 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Focusing on a number of historical and literary personalities who were regarded with disdain in the aftermath of the 1917 revolution—figures such as Peter the Great, Ivan the Terrible, Alexander Pushkin, Leo Tolstoy, and Mikhail Lermontov—Epic Revisionism tells the fascinating story of these individuals’ return to canonical status during the darkest days of the Stalin era. An inherently interdisciplinary project, Epic Revisionism features pieces on literary and cultural history, film, opera, and theater. This volume pairs scholarly essays with selections drawn from Stalin-era primary sources—newspaper articles, unpublished archival documents, short stories—to provide students and specialists with the richest possible understanding of this understudied phenomenon in modern Russian history. “These scholars shed a great deal of light not only on Stalinist culture but on the politics of cultural production under the Soviet system.”—David L. Hoffmann, Slavic Review
Download or read book Epic and the Russian Novel from Gogol to Pasternak written by Frederick T. Griffiths and published by Studies in Russian and Slavic. This book was released on 2018-05-30 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Epic and the Russian Novel from Gogol to Pasternak examines the origin of the nineteen- century Russian novel and challenges the Lukács-Bakhtin theory of epic. By removing the Russian novel from its European context, the authors reveal that it developed as a means of reconnecting the narrative form with its origins in classical and Christian epic in a way that expressed the Russian desire to renew and restore ancient spirituality. Through this methodology, Griffiths and Rabinowitz dispute Bakhtin's classification of epic as a monophonic and dead genre whose time has passed. Due to its grand themes and cultural centrality, the epic is the form most suited to newcomers or cultural outsiders seeking legitimacy through appropriation of the past. Through readings of Gogol's Dead Souls--a uniquely problematic work, and one which Bakhtin argued was novelistic rather than epic--Dostoevsky's Brothers Karamazov, Pasternak's Dr. Zhivago, and Tolstoy's War and Peace, this book redefines "epic" and how we understand the sweep of Russian literature as a whole.
