The iconic masks of the Italian commedia dell'arte-Harlequin,
Pierrot, Colombina, Pulcinella, and others-have been vagabonding
the roads of Russian cultural history for more than three
centuries. This book explores how these masks, and the artistic
principles of the commedia dell'arte that they embody, have
profoundly affected the Russian artistic imagination, providing a
source of inspiration for leading Russian artists as diverse as
nineteenth-century writer Nikolai Gogol, modernist theater director
Evgenii Vakhtangov, Vladimir Nabokov, and the empress of Russian
popular culture Alla Pugacheva. The author presents a new
perspective on this topic, showing how the commedia dell'arte has
nourished a rich cultural tradition in Russia.
