{"product_id":"two-hundred-years-of-pushkin-volume-ii-9789042011359","title":"Two Hundred Years of Pushkin, Volume II","description":"Pushkin’s status as the founding father of Russian literature owes much to his stylistic and linguistic innovations across a wide range of literary genres. But equally important is the influence he exerted on his successors via his exploitation of myth in its widest sense. His poetry, prose and drama frequently draw upon myths of classical antiquity, myths of modern European culture – grand narratives such as the Don Juan legend and Dante’s \u003ci\u003eInferno \u003c\/i\u003e– as well as uniquely Russian myths, particularly those associated with St Petersburg and its founder Peter the Great. It was through the elaboration of such myths that Russia attained to a sense of both its cultural uniqueness and its inscription in the broader context of European culture. The contributors to \u003ci\u003eAlexander Pushkin: Myth and Monument \u003c\/i\u003eexplore these myths from a variety of critical viewpoints and highlight the specific ways in which Pushkin uses myth – among these his recurrent emphasis on the symbolism of monuments and statuary, famously referred to by Roman Jakobson as Pushkin’s ‘sculptural myth’.\n\u003ci\u003eAlexander Pushkin: Myth and Monument \u003c\/i\u003eis the second volume devoted to Pushkin published in the SSLP series, the first being \u003ci\u003ePushkin’s Secret: Russian Writers Reread and Rewrite Pushkin. \u003c\/i\u003eA third volume – \u003ci\u003ePushkin’s Legacy \u003c\/i\u003ewill follow.","brand":"Robert Reid","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48310442197243,"sku":"9789042011359","price":149.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/CoreSourceHub_e6318796-e91f-4c00-be16-910647d369d4.jpg?v=1774775462","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/two-hundred-years-of-pushkin-volume-ii-9789042011359","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
