![]() | Russia’s Dangerous Texts: Politics Between the Lines Subjects: Russian literature -- Political aspects; Politics and literature -- Russia; Politics and literature -- Soviet Union; Politics in literature; Nationalism in literature; Russia's Dangerous Texts examines the ways that writers and their works unnerved and irritated Russia's authoritarian rulers both before and after the Revolution. Kathleen F. Parthé identifies ten historically powerful beliefs about literature and politics in Russia, which include a view of the artistic text as national territory, and the belief that writers must avoid all contact with the state. Kathleen F. Parthé is professor of Russian and director of Russian studies at the University of Rochester. She is the author of Russian Village Prose and, with James H. Billington, The Search for a New Russian National Identity. |
