First published in 1986, Soviet Fiction since Stalin presents a
comprehensive overview of the literature of the post Stalin period
in the Soviet Union. The rapid advances in science and technology
in these years are reflected in the themes of many of the major
novelists - Pasternak, Solzhenitsyn, Sinyavsky, Daniel and
Grossman- and scientific subjects frequently offer a vehicle for
the exploration of the wider socio-political, moral, and
philosophical ideas. As the period advances, however, literature
becomes the first medium in which to express mistrust of scientific
advance, and hence, indirectly, of Soviet policy as a whole.
Rosalind J. Marsh uses a broad definition of 'science' which
enables her to cover topics ranging from de-Stalinization,
nationalism, and anti- Semitism in science, to Lysenko and
scientific charlatanism, the Soviet rejection of relativity theory
and quantum mechanics, the atom bomb, and also such general
problems as secrecy, careerism, and bureaucracy. The bulk of the
book concentrates on the Khrushchev years but there is also
plentiful discussion of more recent writing such as that of
Zinoviev and Voinovich. This book will be of interest to students
and researchers of Soviet literature, Russian Literature and
literature in general.
