Twentieth-Century Russian Poetry by Katharine Hodgson,Joanne Shelton,Alexandra Smith Pdf
The canon of Russian poetry has been reshaped since the fall of the Soviet Union. A multi-authored study of changing cultural memory and identity, this revisionary work charts Russia’s shifting relationship to its own literature in the face of social upheaval. Literary canon and national identity are inextricably tied together, the composition of a canon being the attempt to single out those literary works that best express a nation’s culture. This process is, of course, fluid and subject to significant shifts, particularly at times of epochal change. This volume explores changes in the canon of twentieth-century Russian poetry from the 1991 collapse of the Soviet Union to the end of Putin’s second term as Russian President in 2008. In the wake of major institutional changes, such as the abolition of state censorship and the introduction of a market economy, the way was open for wholesale reinterpretation of twentieth-century poets such as Iosif Brodskii, Anna Akhmatova and Osip Mandel′shtam, their works and their lives. In the last twenty years many critics have discussed the possibility of various coexisting canons rooted in official and non-official literature and suggested replacing the term "Soviet literature" with a new definition – "Russian literature of the Soviet period". Contributions to this volume explore the multiple factors involved in reshaping the canon, understood as a body of literary texts given exemplary or representative status as "classics". Among factors which may influence the composition of the canon are educational institutions, competing views of scholars and critics, including figures outside Russia, and the self-canonising activity of poets themselves. Canon revision further reflects contemporary concerns with the destabilising effects of emigration and the internet, and the desire to reconnect with pre-revolutionary cultural traditions through a narrative of the past which foregrounds continuity. Despite persistent nostalgic yearnings in some quarters for a single canon, the current situation is defiantly diverse, balancing both the Soviet literary tradition and the parallel contemporaneous literary worlds of the emigration and the underground. Required reading for students, teachers and lovers of Russian literature, Twentieth-Century Russian Poetry brings our understanding of post-Soviet Russia up to date.

The unique nature of the treatment of Shakespeare during Russian literary modernism consisted in the Shakespearean text being allowed to become a full-fledged participant in a dialogue between cultures. Shakespeare's works proved to function both as litmus paper bringing out the pivotal characteristics of Russian modernist poetry and simultaneously as a catalyst accelerating literary innovation."--Jacket.
Kak Solʹ Na Topore by Slava Muchnick,Alex Shafarenko Pdf
This bilingual collection of works by 56 Russian poets spans the whole of the 20th century, from Innokenty Annensky (1855-1909) to Boris Ryzhy (1974-2001), and reflects some of the characteristic styles and themes of the period. By giving preference to shorter pieces, it also provides a glimpse into the fascinating portable world of small-form poetry that is carried along by every cultured speaker of Russian. The all-new "congruent" translations, based on the system described and justified in Editor's Introduction, offer Anglophone readers a rare opportunity to appreciate Russian verse on its own terms, complete with its characteristic formal features. The intended audience includes English-language poetry aficionados; students of Russian who wish to get to grips with the poetic language and form, and to understand the differences between English and Russian poetic traditions; translators and linguists interested in the theory and practice of verse translation; youngsters of English-Russian bilingual upbringing whose command of Russian falls short of the necessary standard for appreciating poetry in the original. The book offers annotations to both the translations and the originals, a concise timeline of 20th-century Russian history putting the poems in context, and also indexes of metres and rhyme schemes intended for readers who may wish to find examples of a particular poetic form.
The Penguin Book of Russian Poetry by Robert Chandler,Irina Mashinski,Boris Dralyuk Pdf
An enchanting collection of the very best of Russian poetry, edited by acclaimed translator Robert Chandler together with poets Boris Dralyuk and Irina Mashinski. In the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, poetry's pre-eminence in Russia was unchallenged, with Pushkin and his contemporaries ushering in the 'Golden Age' of Russian literature. Prose briefly gained the high ground in the second half of the nineteenth century, but poetry again became dominant in the 'Silver Age' (the early twentieth century), when belief in reason and progress yielded once more to a more magical view of the world. During the Soviet era, poetry became a dangerous, subversive activity; nevertheless, poets such as Osip Mandelstam and Anna Akhmatova continued to defy the censors. This anthology traces Russian poetry from its Golden Age to the modern era, including work by several great poets - Georgy Ivanov and Varlam Shalamov among them - in captivating modern translations by Robert Chandler and others. The volume also includes a general introduction, chronology and individual introductions to each poet. Robert Chandler is an acclaimed poet and translator. His many translations from Russian include works by Aleksandr Pushkin, Nikolay Leskov, Vasily Grossman and Andrey Platonov, while his anthologies of Russian Short Stories from Pushkin to Buida and Russian Magic Tales are both published in Penguin Classics. Irina Mashinski is a bilingual poet and co-founder of the StoSvet literary project. Her most recent collection is 2013's Ophelia i masterok [Ophelia and the Trowel]. Boris Dralyuk is a Lecturer in Russian at the University of St Andrews and translator of many books from Russian, including, most recently, Isaac Babel's Red Cavalry (2014).
