Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An examination of literary works spanning more than seven centuries, this volume studies the ascetic hero and asceticism, exploring the elusive interplay between religion, politics, and belles lettres in Russia. The first part places works including the thirteenth-century Kievan Crypt Patericon and Life of Avraamii Smolenskii, Epifanii's Life of Sergii Radonezhskii, and other lives written in the north of Russia, in the context of crucial religious doctrines such as apocalypticism and deification. The author shows how Old Russian literature plays a major cultural role in the continuing development of these doctrines on Russian soil. The second part traces a revival of the Russian fascination with themes of apocalypse and perfectibility to the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Morris also documents the development of a divergence in ideological approach between Russian writers who continued to view apocalypticism and deification as religious phenomena and those who used them as tools of social and political struggle. Works by Gogol, Tolstoy, Dostoevsky, Chernyshevsky, and Gorky, as well as classic novels of the socialist realist tradition are analyzed as evidence of the underlying unity of the literary manifestations of this ostensibly bifurcated intellectual tradition.

Download or read book Medieval Russian Culture, Volume II written by Michael Flier and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2023-11-10 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A stimulating and provocative collection, these essays challenge received notions about the culture and history of medieval Russia and offer fresh approaches to problems of textual interpretation, the theory of the medieval text, and the analysis of alternative, nonverbal texts. The contributors, international specialists from many disciplines, investigate issues ranging over history, cultural anthropology, art history, and ritual. They have produced a worthy companion to the first volume of Medieval Russian Culture, published in 1984. This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press’s mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in 1990.

Download or read book The Paterik of the Kievan Caves Monastery written by Muriel Heppell and published by Harvard Ukrainian Research Institute. This book was released on 1989 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Kievan Caves Monastery was for centuries the most important Ukrainian monastic establishment. It was the outstanding center of literary production, and its monks served throughout the territory of Rus' as bishops and monastic superiors. The most detailed source for the monastery early history is its Paterik, a thirteenth-century compilation containing stories reaching back to the monastery's foundation in the mid-eleventh century. Muriel Heppell now makes available the first complete English translation of the Paterik. With an introduction, map, and several appendices, Heppell discusses the work's Byzantine background and also sets it in its historical context. The Harvard Library of Early Ukrainian Literature is one portion of the Harvard Project in Commemoration of the Millennium of Christianity in Rus'-Ukraine sponsored by the Ukrainian Research Institute of Harvard University. The Library encompasses literary activity in Rus'-Ukraine from its beginning in the mid-eleventh century through the end of the eighteenth century. Included are ecclesiastical and secular works written in a variety of languages, such as Church Slavonic, Old Rus', Ruthenian (Middle Ukrainian), Polish, and Latin. This linguistic diversity reflects the cultural pluralism of Ukrainian intellectual life in the medieval and early-modern periods. The Library consists of three parts: Texts, which publishes original works, in facsimile whenever appropriate; English Translations; and Ukrainian Translations. Each volume begins with an introductory essay by a specialist. The two translation series also include maps, appendices, and indices. A cumulative index to the entire Library is planned.

Download or read book A Grin Without a Cat: Jews and Christians in medieval Russia : assessing the sources written by Alexander Pereswetoff-Morath and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vol. 1, "'Adversus Iudaeos' Texts in the Literature of Medieval Russia (988-1504)", presents a philological study of anti-Judaic works known to eastern Slavs in the medieval period. Stresses that over 90% of the texts were translations, mostly from Greek, done by southern Slavic literati. Contests the view that the works (on world history, sermons, and disputations) reflect actual polemics between Christians and Jews. Concludes that since comparisons with other cultures are not yet available, some important questions cannot be answered - e.g. what was the attitude of the ordinary eastern Slav toward Jews, what was the common image of the Jew among Russian bookmen, and what were the mechanisms in Rus' culture or theology that perpetuated the transmission of anti-Judaic works to such a considerable extent, if indeed it was considerable. Vol. 2, "Jews and Christians in Medieval Russia: Assessing the Sources", concludes that previous generalizations about Jews, including those relating to animosity toward them, are based on flimsy evidence. Notes, for example, that claims that Jews played an important political role in Rus' are preposterous. There is no evidence of Jewish practice of usury or of particular Jewish involvement in commerce or the slave trade. Also concludes that the "pogrom" of 1018 did not take place; that the "pogrom" of 1113 was not a pogrom, although it might have hurt some Jews, among others; and that there is no authentic evidence for an expulsion of Jews from Rus' by Vladimir Monomachos. The scholarly arguments presented here undermine antisemitic interpretations of Jewish economic oppression of Slavs as well as unfounded Jewish claims of Slavic antisemitism.
