Summary:

"The Routledge Companion to Russian Literature" is an engaging and accessible guide to Russian writing of the past thousand years. The volume covers the entire span of Russian literature, from the Middle Ages to the post-Soviet period, and, of course, the Russian novel. A particular emphasis is given to the works of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, when Russian literature achieved worldwide recognition through the works of writers such as Pushkin, Dostoyevsky, Tolstoy, Nabokov and Solzhenitsyn. Covering such diverse subjects as women's writing, Russian literary theory, socialist realism and emigre writing, leading international scholars open up the wonderful diversity of Russian literature. With recommended lists of further reading and an excellent, up-to-date bibliography, "The Routledge Companion to" "Russian Literature" is the perfect guide for students and general readers alike.
