Klappentext "The essential, authoritative new guide to Russian literature, this innovative volume considers literature's multiple parallel histories ranging from the medieval period to the internet age. With contributions from thirty-four world-leading scholars, it offers a fresh approach to literary history, not as one integral narrative but as multiple parallel histories. Each of its four strands tells a story of Russian literature according to a defined criterion: Movements, Mechanisms, Forms and Heroes. At the same time, six clusters of shorter themed essays suggest additional perspectives and criteria for further study and research. In dialogue, these histories invite a multiplicity of readings, both within and across the narrative strands. The open but easily navigable structure enables engagement with both traditional literary concerns and radical reconceptualisations of Russian culture"-- Zusammenfassung The essential, authoritative new guide to Russian literature, this innovative volume considers literature's multiple parallel histories ranging from the medieval period to the internet age. The open but easily navigable structure enables engagement with both traditional literary concerns and radical re-conceptualisations of Russian culture.
