Literary theory flourished in Central and Eastern Europe throughout
the twentieth century, but its relation to Western literary
scholarship is complex. This book sheds light on the entangled
histories of exchange and influence both within the region known as
Central and Eastern Europe, and between the region and the West.
The exchange of ideas between scholars in the East and West was
facilitated by both personal and institutional relations, both
official and informal encounters. For the longest time, however,
intellectual exchange was thwarted by political tensions that led
to large parts of Central and Eastern Europe being isolated from
the West. A few literary theories nevertheless made it into Western
scholarly discourses via exiled scholars. Some of these scholars,
such as Mikhail Bakhtin, become widely known in the West and their
thought was transposed onto new, Western cultural contexts; others,
such as Ol'ga Freidenberg, were barely noticed outside of Russian
and Poland. This volume draws attention to the schools, circles,
and concepts that shaped the development of theory in Central and
Eastern Europe as well as the histoire croisee - the history of
translations, transformations, and migrations - that conditioned
its relationship with the West.
