Book Synopsis Two Comedies by Catherine the Great, Empress of Russia by : Lurana Donnels O'Malley
Download or read book Two Comedies by Catherine the Great, Empress of Russia written by Lurana Donnels O'Malley and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2023-10-06 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Catherine the Great (1729-1796) wrote over two dozen plays and operettas, but not until this edition has a complete translation of any of them been available to an English- speaking readership. Oh, These Times (1772) is a satirical attack on many vices Catherine wished to root out from her society: religious hypocrisy, superstition and slander. The main character, Mrs. Pious, is a superficially religious old woman who resembles Moliere's Tartuffe. Catherine again sets her sights on superstition in The Siberian Shaman (1786), this time by satirizing shamanism as a deceitful profession which preys on the gullible. This play was part of a group of three plays usually known as Catherine's "anti-masonic" trilogy, written as a warning against the growing influence of the freemasons. In a comprehensive introduction, Lurana Donnels O'Malley relates the plays to Catherine's status and philosophy.

Book Synopsis The Igor Tale by : Henry R. Cooper, Jr.
Download or read book The Igor Tale written by Henry R. Cooper, Jr. and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-10-05 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The great Slavic medieval epic, The Igor Tale, recounts the story of a Russian prince who leads his men into battle against the Mongols. In 1935, Soviet scholar P.N. Berkov began to compile a bibliography of Western European translations of the poem, later followed by several Soviet Union biographies compiling the works on the epic that had appeared in the Russian Empire or the Soviet Union. Here, Cooper attempts to remedy the shortcomings of previous scholar work: to seriously survey the large body of non-Soviet scholarship on the poem particularly Western contributions to Igor scholarship. Originally published in 1978, Cooper traces foreign scholarship and translations from 1900-1976 from a wide variety of Western and some Eastern nations including the United States, Great Britain, France, Italy, Poland, Japan and many other countries. This title is a valuable resource for students of Literature and Slavic Studies.
Book Synopsis Russian/Soviet Studies in the United States, Amerikanistika in Russia by : Ivan Kurilla
Download or read book Russian/Soviet Studies in the United States, Amerikanistika in Russia written by Ivan Kurilla and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2015-12-09 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The contributors in this interdisciplinary collection address the problem of interconnection between the study of the “Other,” either Russian or American, and the shaping of national identities in the two countries at different stages of US–Russian relations. The focus of research interests were typically determined by the political and social debates in scholars’ native countries. In this book, leading Russian and American scholars analyze the problems arising from these intersections of academic, political, and sociocultural contexts and the implicit biases they entail. The book is divided into two parts, the first being a historical overview of past configurations of the interrelationship between fields and agendas, and the second covering the role of institutionalized area studies in the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries.In both parts the role of the “human factor” in the study of mutual representations is elucidating.
Book Synopsis The Yeshiva and the Rise of Modern Hebrew Literature by : Marina Zilbergerts
Download or read book The Yeshiva and the Rise of Modern Hebrew Literature written by Marina Zilbergerts and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2022-04-05 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Yeshiva and the Rise of Modern Hebrew Literature argues that the institution of the yeshiva and its ideals of Jewish textual study played a seminal role in the resurgence of Hebrew literature in modern times. Departing from the conventional interpretation of the origins of Hebrew literature in secular culture, Marina Zilbergerts points to the practices and metaphysics of Talmud study as its essential animating forces. Focusing on the early works and personal histories of founding figures of Hebrew literature, from Moshe Leib Lilienblum to Chaim Nachman Bialik, The Yeshiva and the Rise of Modern Hebrew Literature reveals the lasting engagement of modern Jewish letters with the hallowed tradition of rabbinic learning.
Book Synopsis The Dramatic Works of Catherine the Great by : Lurana Donnels O'Malley
Download or read book The Dramatic Works of Catherine the Great written by Lurana Donnels O'Malley and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-09-29 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first in-depth study of Catherine the Great's plays and opera libretti, this book provides analysis and critical interpretation of the dramatic works by this eighteenth-century Russian Empress. These works are shown to be remarkable for their diversity, frank satire, topical subject matter, and stylistic innovations. O'Malley reveals comparisons to and influences from European traditions, including Shakespeare and Molière, and sets Catherine in the larger field of Russian literature in the period, further illuminating her relationship to the aesthetic debates of the period. The study investigates how Catherine expressed her social ideas throughout her drama and exploited the stage's power to promote political ideals and ideology. O'Malley sets close textual analysis within an historical framework, analyzing the major plays according to content, style, themes, characters, and relation to Catherine's life and political aims.
Book Synopsis Between the Icon and the Idol by : Artur Mrowczynski-Van Allen
Download or read book Between the Icon and the Idol written by Artur Mrowczynski-Van Allen and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2013-11-14 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The totalitarian state clearly intends to eliminate all those forms of organic community that rival the absolute loyalty of the individual to the state. This god is a jealous god. . . . Mrowczyński-Van Allen's diagnosis is therefore no less relevant after the fall of the Berlin Wall. And his proposed cure is no less salutary. He appeals to the work of Grossman and other voices from the East to oppose the idolatry of the deified self with the icon, which opens up a distance in which giving and forgiving can occur. Eastern voices are so helpful because they refuse to quarantine theological questions; the borders between theology, politics, and literature are fluid and porous, because they are all a part of an integrated life. The holism of totalitarianism must be opposed by another kind of holism that replaces the idol with the icon. At the same time, the aspiration of secularism to separate politics from theology, and power from love, must be opposed by a politics based on an opening of human persons to God and to each other, the kind of self-donation found in Grossman, and for Christians, on the Cross." --From the Foreword by William T. Cavanaugh
