History Literary Criticism Moscow Russia Saint Petersburg Voltaire 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. 2018-01-06 23:55 2017-12-01 23:55:55 2020-03-27 03:00:26 2020-04-01T13:18:03Z 2020-04-01T13:18:03Z 2009-10-01 book 641421 OCN: 1024123103 9781618116741 http://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/30920 eng Studies in Russian and Slavic Literatures, Cultures, and History application/pdf n/a 641421.pdf https://www.academicstudiespress.com/browse-catalog/early-modern-russian-letters-texts-and-contexts Academic Studies Press 10.2307/j.ctt1zxshqg 10.2307/j.ctt1zxshqg ffe92610-fbe7-449b-a2a8-02c411701a23 b818ba9d-2dd9-4fd7-a364-7f305aef7ee9 9781618116741 Knowledge Unlatched (KU) Boston, MA 101800 KU Open Services Knowledge Unlatched open access |
