In the Russian modernist era, literature threw itself open to
influences from other art forms, most particularly the visual arts.
Collaborations between writers, artists, designers, and theatre and
cinema directors took place more intensively and productively than
ever before or since. Equally striking was the incursion of spatial
and visual motifs and structures into verbal texts. Verbal and
visual principles of creation joined forces in an attempt to
transform and surpass life through art. Yet willed transcendence of
the boundaries between art forms gave rise to confrontation and
creative tension as well as to harmonious co-operation. This
collection of essays by leading British, American and Russian
scholars, first published in 2000, draws on a rich variety of
material - from Dostoevskii to Siniavskii, from writers' doodles to
cabarets, from well-known modernists such as Akhmatova, Malevich,
Platonov and Olesha to less well-known figures - to demonstrate the
creative power and dynamism of Russian culture 'on the boundaries'.
