Book Synopsis A People Passing Rude by : Anthony Cross
Download or read book A People Passing Rude written by Anthony Cross and published by Open Book Publishers. This book was released on 2012-11-01 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The essays in this stimulating collection attest to the scope and variety of Russia's influence on British culture. They move from the early nineteenth century -- when Byron sent his hero Don Juan to meet Catherine the Great, and an English critic sought to come to terms with the challenge of Pushkin -- to a series of Russian-themed exhibitions at venues including the Crystal Palace and Earls Court. The collection looks at British encounters with Russian music, the absorption with Dostoevskii and Chekhov, and finishes by shedding light on Britain's engagement with Soviet film."--Back cover.

This book was released on 2019-05-16 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is a new contribution to the dynamic scholarly discussion of the control and regulation of psychoactive substances in culture and society.

Book Synopsis Twentieth-Century Russian Poetry by : Katharine Hodgson
Download or read book Twentieth-Century Russian Poetry written by Katharine Hodgson and published by Open Book Publishers. This book was released on 2017-04-21 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The canon of Russian poetry has been reshaped since the fall of the Soviet Union. A multi-authored study of changing cultural memory and identity, this revisionary work charts Russia’s shifting relationship to its own literature in the face of social upheaval. Literary canon and national identity are inextricably tied together, the composition of a canon being the attempt to single out those literary works that best express a nation’s culture. This process is, of course, fluid and subject to significant shifts, particularly at times of epochal change. This volume explores changes in the canon of twentieth-century Russian poetry from the 1991 collapse of the Soviet Union to the end of Putin’s second term as Russian President in 2008. In the wake of major institutional changes, such as the abolition of state censorship and the introduction of a market economy, the way was open for wholesale reinterpretation of twentieth-century poets such as Iosif Brodskii, Anna Akhmatova and Osip Mandel′shtam, their works and their lives. In the last twenty years many critics have discussed the possibility of various coexisting canons rooted in official and non-official literature and suggested replacing the term "Soviet literature" with a new definition – "Russian literature of the Soviet period". Contributions to this volume explore the multiple factors involved in reshaping the canon, understood as a body of literary texts given exemplary or representative status as "classics". Among factors which may influence the composition of the canon are educational institutions, competing views of scholars and critics, including figures outside Russia, and the self-canonising activity of poets themselves. Canon revision further reflects contemporary concerns with the destabilising effects of emigration and the internet, and the desire to reconnect with pre-revolutionary cultural traditions through a narrative of the past which foregrounds continuity. Despite persistent nostalgic yearnings in some quarters for a single canon, the current situation is defiantly diverse, balancing both the Soviet literary tradition and the parallel contemporaneous literary worlds of the emigration and the underground. Required reading for students, teachers and lovers of Russian literature, Twentieth-Century Russian Poetry brings our understanding of post-Soviet Russia up to date.
Book Synopsis The Oxford Handbook of Global Drug History by : Paul Gootenberg
Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Global Drug History written by Paul Gootenberg and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2022 with total page 721 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This essay reveals how a global "New Drug History" has evolved over the past three decades, along with its latest thematic trends and possible next directions. Scholars have long studied drugs, but only in the 1990s did serious archival and global study of what are now illicit drugs emerge, largely from the influence of the anthropology of drugs on history. A series of key interdisciplinary influences are now in play beyond anthropology, among them, commodity and consumption studies, sociology, medical history, cultural studies, and transnational history. Scholars connect drugs and their changing political or cultural status to larger contexts and epochal events such as wars, empires, capitalism, modernization, or globalizing processes. As the field expands in scope, it may shift deeper into non-western perspectives, a fluid historical definition of drugs; environmental concerns; and research on cannabis and opiates sparked by their current transformations or crises"--
Book Synopsis N. M. Karamzin: a Study of His Literary Career, 1783-1803 by : Anthony Glenn Cross
Download or read book N. M. Karamzin: a Study of His Literary Career, 1783-1803 written by Anthony Glenn Cross and published by Carbondale : Southern Illinois University Press. This book was released on 1971 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first detailed account of the works of the Royal Historiographer whose name marks a period in Russian literature. The present work is primarily devoted to a study of Karamzin's literary career, specifically to the work he produced between 1783, the date of his first published translation, and 1803, at the end of which year he completed his editorship of the influential Messenger of Europe and, in his own words, "entered the temple of history," following his appointment as Royal Historiographer. In this far-ranging work Mr. Cross gives a detailed account of Karamzin's formative years, his extensive travel, his influence on his contemporaries, his philosophy, and his literary achievements, thus providing a well-rounded portrait of a remarkable man in relation to his time and, perhaps especially important, providing also an unmatched contribution to Russian literary studies of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century. An appendix to the book provides a list of the works Karamzin reviewed for the Moscow Journal and a bibliography of Karamzin studies published in this century, to 1968.
