Now for the first time readers of English have by far Ihe most up~to~date and comprehensive guide to Russian authors since the Revolution. Dictionary of Russian Literature Since 1917 updates the original edition and includes over 50 new entries not present in the 1976 German version. Kasack examines Russian literature sysematically and objectively as a single unit ~ his work is not a dictionary of "Soviet Literature". The selection of writers and topics recognizes the need for information both about writers who have been forced to emigrate and about those who enjoy the sanction and favor of the Soviet authorities. And, it depicts the changes in this distinction during the last seventy years. Included are many writers who have never before appeared in literary histories. For each writer the Dictionary provides a biography, a brief characterization of the main writings, and a bibliography including translations into English. More than eighty topical articles cover such relevant topics as samizdat, emigration, censorship, and socialist realism, as well as Soviet and emigre literary journals. The book is easy to use, and arranged in such a way that essential information may be located rapidly. An unparalleled reference for years to come, this Dictionary is invaluable for anyone interested in Russian literature from 1917 to the present. Seller Inventory # 2121803
