Russians abroad : literary and cultural politics of diaspora (1919-1939)
\"The book presents an array of perspectives on the vivid cultural and literary politics that marked the period immediately after the October Revolution of 1917, when Russian writers had to relocate to Berlin and Paris under harsh conditions. Divided amongst themselves and uncertain about the political and artistic directions of life in the diaspora, these writers carried on two simultaneous literary dialogues: with the emerging Soviet Union and with the dizzying world of European modernism that surrounded them in the West. Chapters address generational differences, literary polemics and experimentation, the heritage of pre-October Russian modernism, and the fate of individual writers and critics, offering a sweeping view of how exiles created a literary diaspora. The discussion moves beyond Russian studies to contribute to today's broad, cross-cultural study of the creative side of political and cultural displacement.\"--P. [4] of cover.

Heroic poetry and revolutionary prophecy: Russian symbolists translate the Hebrew poets
Slobin discusses the works of Russian symbolists in the translation of Hebrew poetry. The Russian writers took on the project as a poetic and political response to the plight of the Jews. The result is a remarkable instance of an inter-linguistic poetic dialogue between two cultures which, until recently, had co-existed in the Russian Empire in a state of alienation and ignorance.

REMIZOV AND THE RISE OF RUSSIAN MODERNISM
In a ll the h isto ries of early twentieth-century Russian lit e r ature, including the twenties, Remizov is mentioned along with Belyj as the most in flu e n tia l w rite r and craftsman. Remizov's contribution lie s in the realm of style and narrative composition. He is often referred to as the master o f \"skaz\" but, upon closer examination this claim proves misleading. \"Skaz\" is one of many types of s tyliza tio n which Remizov incorporates in his w ritin g . His lite ra ry output is unusually great and ranges from fa iry tales to legends, to fic tio n and fic tio n a l autobiography. After a cursory review of the evolution of Remizov's poetics in the f ir s t decade of his w ritin g , considered the most seminal fo r his career and influence, th is study examines some of the central concerns of Remizov's w ritin g . Three works Serve as test-cases: The Tale of S tra tila to v (1909), Sisters in the Cross (1910) and The F ifth Pestilence (1912).
