Maximilian Voloshin's Poetic Legacy and the Post-Soviet Russian Identity

Beschreibung

Famed and outspoken Russian poet, Maximilian Voloshin's notoriety has grown steadily since his slow release from Soviet censorship. For the first time, Landa showcases his vast poetic contributions, proving his words to be an overlooked solution both to the political and cultural turmoil engulfing the Soviet Union in the early twentieth century.

Rezensionen

"This informative and stimulating study of Maximilian Voloshin will be of interest to students of Russian literature, history, and Modernist studies. ... the book offers many new insights and observations on Voloshin's links with other modernist writers and thinkers, and surveys many interesting responses to his poetry produced by his contemporaries." (The Russian Review, Vol. 76 (1), January, 2017)

"This fascinating study aims to make a case for Maximilian Voloshin as a figure who might embody a new identity for Russia as a tolerant, free, and open society. ... Landa's study is to be welcomed for its careful engagement with a poet who modelled such inclusiveness in his own life and writing." (Katharine Hodgson, Slavic Review, Vol. 76, 2017)

"Landa's detailed account of Voloshin's work and its contemporary and posthumous reception provide a much needed addition to the growing field of Voloshin scholarship and a key resource for anybody interested in twentieth-century Russian society and culture." (Joseph Schlegel, Slavic and East European Journal, Vol. 60 (2), 2016)
