| Summary: | This volume consists of ten essays by scholars from the Soviet Union, the United States and New Zealand on aspects of Russian literature of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. With the exception of Gorky, all the authors considered belong to one or another branch of the Modernist movement. They range from Ivan Konevskoi, precursor of Symbolism, who died tragically young in 1901, to Evgenii Zamiatin and Benedikt Livshits, writing in the 1920s. The work of Maksimilian Voloshin from the early years of the century through to the 1920s is reflected in three essays, while others are concerned with the work of Viacheslav Ivanov, Fedor Sologub and Andrei Belyi. All the essays are based upon papers that were read at the Fourth International Congress of Slavists at Harrogate in 1990. Each contribution advances our understanding either by offering a fresh interpretation or by presenting new material. |
