"In its sure grasp of a huge subject and in its speculative
boldness, Professor Clark's study represents a major breakthrough.
It sends one back to the original texts with a whole host of new
questions.... And it also helps us to understand the place of the
'official' writer in that peculiar mixture of ideology, collective
pressure, and inspiration which is the Soviet literary process."
Times Literary Supplement
"The Soviet Novel has had an enormous impact on the way
Stalinist culture is studied in a range of disciplines (literature
scholarship, history, cultural studies, even anthropology and
political science)." Slavic Review
"Those readers who have come to realize that history is a branch
of mythology will find Clark's book a stimulating and rewarding
account of Soviet mythopoesis." American Historical Review
A dynamic account of the socialist realist novel's evolution as
seen in the context of Soviet culture. A new Afterword brings the
history of Socialist Realism to its end at the close of the 20th
century."
