Andrei Bely's 1913 masterwork Petersburg is widely regarded as the
most important Russian novel of the twentieth century. Vladimir
Nabokov ranked it with James Joyce's Ulysses, Franz Kafka's
Metamorphosis, and Marcel Proust's In Search of Lost Time. Few
artistic works created before the First World War encapsulate and
articulate the sensibility, ideas, phobias, and aspirations of
Russian and transnational modernism as comprehensively. Bely
expected his audience to participate in unraveling the work's many
meanings, narrative strains, and patterns of details. In their
essays, the contributors clarify these complexities, summarize the
intellectual and artistic contexts that informed Petersburg's
creation and reception, and review the interpretive possibilities
contained in the novel. This volume will aid a broad audience of
Anglophone readers in understanding and appreciating Petersburg.
