Short description:
Russian women's writing is now attracting enormous interest both in the West and in Russia itself. This is the first one-volume history of the subject in any language, and it shows just how closely the development of Russian women's writing has been bound to historical events. Written in a lively and accessible style, the book not only retrieves forgotten writers from oblivion, but sheds new light on well-known figures such as Akhmatova and Tsevtaeva. Generous quotations from the Russian are all accompanied by English translations.
MoreLong description:
Russian women's writing is now attracting enormous interest both in the West and in Russia itself. This is the first one-volume history of the subject to appear in any language in modern times.
Written from a bold feminist perspective, the book combines a broad historical survey with close textual analysis. Sections on women's writing in the periods 1820-1880, 1881-1917, 1917-1954, and 1953-1992 are followed by essays on individual writers. Drawing on a wide range of sources, including rare literary journals and almanacs, Catriona Kelly's account shows familiar figures such as Akhmatova, Tsevtaeva, and Tolstaya in a radical new context and brings to light a colourful gallery of fascinating but neglected writers including Elena Gan, Nadezhda Teffi, Natalya Baranskaya, and Nina Sadur. The text is supported by generous quotations from the Russian, all accompanied by English translations.
Complemented by Dr Kelly's Anthology of Russian Women's Writing 1777-1992 (also available from OUP), this is an indispensable source for readers and students of women's writing, and for all those concerned with women's history, the history of feminism, and Russian literature in general.
an impressive piece of scholarship. The author's use of text and context as the framework by which to illuminate women's writing is both intriguing and generally effective. - Susan M. Vorderer Harvard Ukrainian Studies 18 (3/4)
