A number of distinctive literary schools emerged, each with their own voice, specific artistic character, and ideological background. As a single-volume compendium, the Companion provides a new perspective on Russian literary and cultural development, as it unifies both émigré literature and literature written in Russia. This volume concentrates on broad, complex, and diverse sources - from symbolism and revolutionary avant-garde writings to Stalinist, post-Stalinist, and post-Soviet prose, poetry, drama, and émigré literature, with forays into film, theatre, and literary policies, institutions and theories. The contributors present recent scholarship on historical and cultural contexts of twentieth-century literary development, and situate the most influential individual authors within these contexts, including Boris Pasternak, Alexander Solzhenitsyn, Joseph Brodsky, Osip Mandelstam, Mikhail Bulgakov and Anna Akhmatova.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 230mmItem Length: 155mmItem Width: 15mmItem Weight: 520gContributor: Evgeny Dobrenko (Edited by), Marina Balina (Edited by)Genre: Literary CriticismBook Series: Cambridge Companions to LiteratureAuthor: Evgeny DobrenkoRelease Year: 2011
