Informationen zum Autor Gary Rosenshield is professor of Slavic languages and literature at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and the author of Crime and Punishment: The Techniques of the Omniscient Author and numerous scholarly articles on Slavic studies. Klappentext In 1833 Alexander Pushkin began to consider the topic of madness! a subject little explored in Russian literature before his time. He brilliantly plumbed both the destructive and creative sides of madness! a strange fusion of violence and insight. Gary Rosenshield illustrates the surprising valorization of madness in the prose novella "The Queen of Spades and the lyric "God Grant That I Not Lose My Mind" and analyzes the poem "The Bronze Horseman for its confrontation with the legacy of Peter the Great. He situates Pushkin in a greater framework with such luminaries as Shakespeare! Sophocles! Cervantes! and Dostoevsky! providing an absorbing study of one of Russia's greatest writers. Zusammenfassung In 1833 Alexander Pushkin began to consider the topic of madness! a subject little explored in Russian literature before then. This text illustrates the surprising glorification of madness in the prose novella ""The Queen of Spades"" and the lyric ""God Grant That I Not Lose My Mind"".
