This book looks at literary historiography in Russia, Latvia, the
Czech Republic and Finland, focusing on how seismic shifts in state
politics and ideology after 1990 changed the writing of national
literary histories in these countries. While Russia saw a return to
a more nationalist way of thinking about literature and a new
emphasis on Orthodox religion after the fall of the Soviet Union,
the opposite is true for Latvia, the Czech Republic and Finland. In
these countries, literary historiography fosters connections
between Western scholarship and literatures written in the national
language, and engages with questions such as transnationalism,
minorities, culture and power, and the cultural construction of
identities. This book scrutinizes the different ways in which the
construction of national, cultural and European identities has
occurred in and through the literary historiography of
North-Eastern Europe in the last few decades.
