This first encyclopedia of its kind in English covers ten centuries
of Russian literature and includes nearly 1,000 entries by leading
scholars. It will be an indispensable guide for students or the
general reader. "The Handbook is an Eden for browsers... a
dependable, illuminating guide."-Robert Taylor, Boston Globe "A
comprehensive survey in one volume of one of the world's richest
national literatures. The volume includes entries on authors,
genres, literary movements, and period studies, together with
reviews of notable journals. The lengthiest entries run to more
than 6,000 words, the shortest have been kept to a single
paragraph, giving the book value both for ready reference and as a
collection of history and criticism."-Booklist "The achievement
here is grand, the knowledge collected invaluable."-Theoharis C.
Theoharis, Christian Science Monitor "A vast and informative
compilation.... The magnificent panorama of Russian literature
accumulatively unfolds, from its ancient folklore and earliest
written texts... to our present century's structuralism, modernism,
and socialist realism."-Gordon McVay, Times Higher Education
Supplement "For anyone interested in Russian literature, this new
Handbook is the single most useful book to own."-J. Thomas Shaw,
Slavic and East European Journal "An indispensable source of
concise information for all students of literature for years to
come."-Ray Parrott, Philological Quarterly
