Featuring a number of pioneering essays by the internationally
known Russian cultural historians Boris Uspenskij and Victor
Zhivov, this collection includes a number of essays appearing in
English for the first time. Focusing on several of the most
interesting and problematic aspects of Russia's cultural
development, these essays examine the survival and the
reconceptualization of the past in later cultural systems and some
of the key transformations of Russian cultural consciousness. The
essays in this collection contain some important examples of
Russian cultural semiotics and remain indispensable contributions
to the history of Russian civilization.
Victor Zhivov's Language and Culture in Eighteenth-Century Russia
is one of the most important studies ever published on
eighteenth-century Russia. Historians and students of Russian
culture agree that the creation of a Russian literary language was
key to the formation of a modern secular culture, and this title
traces the growth of a vernacular language from the ""hybrid
Slavonic"" of the late seventeenth century through the debates
between ""archaists and innovators"" of the early nineteenth
century. Zhivov's study is an essential work on the genesis of
modern Russian culture; the aim of this translation is to make it
available to historians and students of the field.
Early Modern Russian Letters: Texts and Contexts brings together
twenty essays by Marcus C. Levitt, a leading scholar of
eighteenth-century Russian literature. The essays address a
spectrum of works and issues that shaped the development of modern
Russian literature, from authorship and philosophy to gender and
religion in Russian Enlightenment culture. The first part of the
collection explores the career and works of Alexander Sumarokov,
who played a formative role in literary life of his day. In the
essays of the second part Levitt argues that the Enlightenment's
privileging of vision played an especially important role in
eighteenth-century Russian self-image, and that its
"occularcentrism" was profoundly shaped by Orthodox religious
views. Early Modern Russian Letters offers a series of original and
provocative explorations of a vital but little studied period.
Academic Studies Press is proud to present this translation of
Professor Andrei Zorin's seminal Kormya Dvuglavogo Orla. This
collection of essays includes several that have never before
appeared in English, including "The People's War: The Time of
Troubles in Russian Literature, 1806-1807" and "Holy Alliances: V.
A. Zhukovskii's Epistle 'To Emperor Alexander' and Christian
Universalism."

This bilingual collection in honor of the great scholar and writer
Alexander Zholkovsky brings together new work from forty-four
leading scholars in nine countries. Like Zholkovsky's oeuvre, this

literary theory, and Russian film. The articles are rooted in

history, and a host of other methodological and discursive modes.

most fascinating figures of Russian letters but also a remarkable
picture of the shape of Russian literary scholarship today.
