Twentieth-Century Russian Literature (A Chicago Classic)

By Albert Parry, Harry Thornton Moore, Moore Harry T And Parry Albert

Book Overview

This is the only volume in English that attempts to deal thoroughly with modern Russian literature--from Chekhov and Gorky to Solzhenitsyn and his contem­poraries.

Moore and Parry discuss the most sig­nificant phases of twentieth-century Rus­sian literature--novels, dramas, poems, and films--but they also focus on all forms of communication, including news­papers printed by hidden presses and for­bidden books by Russian and foreign au­thors. Everyone and everything of im­portance is illuminated in this compre­hensive survey. Many writers are compel­lingly presented, and their lives and works viewed in the context of violent social and intellectual change.
