Commemorating Pushkin - Russia's Myth of a National Poet (Hardcover, New)

Two hundred years after his birth, Alexander Pushkin still issues a
dynamic, liberating challenge to Russia's cultural identity. His
story has promised national coherence and meant artistic integrity
in its seemingly purest form. Irreverent and polemical responses to
Pushkin abound, but Russians retain a deep investment in Pushkin's
image. Commemorating Pushkin argues that the emotional complexity
of Russia's relationship with Pushkin has informed both large-scale
cultural institutions and the writings of talented individuals. It
assesses twentieth-century museums, anniversary rituals, and films
that keep the poet alive. It shows how Pushkin's self-fashioning
was exemplary for Anna Akhmatova, Marina Tsvetaeva, Andrei Bitov,
and Andrei Sinyavsky. And it goes beyond well-known figures to give
names and histories to poets, novelists, actors, filmmakers,
scholars, and museum workers who have sustained Russia's myth of a
national poet.
