This wide-ranging 1996 study presents an examination of the
extraordinary diversity and range of satirical writing in Russian
literature and will be of interest not only to Slavicists but also
to those interested in genre theory. Through the close analysis of
seminal satirical texts written by five Russian and emigre authors
in the 1970s and 1980s, Karen Ryan-Hayes demonstrates that formal
and thematic parody is pervasive and that it provides additional
levels of meaning in contemporary Russian satire. Each work under
examination is placed within the wider European literary context as
well as within the Russian tradition and is representative of a
different sub-genre of satire. The author focuses on a variety of
these genres and modes and offers practical criticism on each text.
The writers under discussion have enjoyed a positive reception in
the West and their works demonstrate the variety and vitality of
Russian and Soviet satire.
