Love and Russian Literature - Ira B. (University of British Columbia Nadel - Bog

Bag om Love and Russian Literature

Russia haunted the British cultural imagination throughout the 20th century - whether as a romantic source of literary and political inspiration or as a warning of creeping totalitarianism. In this new book, Ira B. Nadel, charts the story of that influence through the work of some of the key figures in British literature across the century, including Joseph Conrad, Virginia Woolf, H.G. Wells, Samuel Beckett and Tom Stoppard. Framed by the story of two romantic encounters, between Walter Benjamin and the actress Asja Lacis in Moscow in 1926 and between Isaiah Berlin and Anna Akhmatova in 1945, Love and Russian Literature casts a vivid new light on the ways in which responses to Russia shaped the history of British modernism.
