| Summary |
Reframing Russian Modernism expands beyond scholarship on this literature's aesthetic manifestations and focuses on its encounters with ideas and practices ranging from nationalism to sexual politics to Darwinism to yoga. These revealing essays integrate the study of Russian modernism into the larger body of work on transnational modernity and will appeal to readers in literary and cultural studies, cultural anthropology, and intellectual history. -- Publisher |
