Pushkin's The Queen of Spades

Informationen zum Autor Neil Cornwell is Emeritus Professor in the School of Modern Languages at the University of Bristol, and General Editor of the Russian Texts series and Critical Studies in Russian Literature.His books include The Literary Fantastic: From Gothic to Postmodernism (1990), and the first study on Odoevsky in English - V.F. Odoevsky: His Life, Times and Milieu (1996), and the edited collection Odoevsky: The Salamander and Other Gothic Tales (also published by Bloomsbury). Vorwort Pushkin's prose masterpiece is here analysed in the light of contemporary and more recent western and Russian critiques. Zusammenfassung Pushkin’s prose masterpiece, written in 1833, has attracted a torrent of critical attention, particularly in recent decades, when it has been shown to respond to a surprising variety of critical approaches. This study looks at contemporary reactions to Pushkin’s tale before turning to Russian Formatist analyses and then to the plethora of more recent western and Russian critiques. A commentary to the text is followed by an assessment of a range of readings - old, new and previously untried - designed to test the limits of Pushkin’s text.
