About this book

This volume of California Slavic Studies showcases an interdisciplinary collection of scholarly essays and primary sources, delving into the rich cultural, literary, and historical narratives of the Slavic world. Edited by Nicholas V. Riasanovsky, Gleb Struve, and Thomas Eekman, the book features diverse topics, including eschatological themes in Russian literature, poetic explorations by Osip Mandelstam, and historical accounts like Prince Peter Kozlovsky's correspondence. This academic compilation serves as a crucial resource for understanding the complexity of Slavic contributions to global history and culture, while offering readers insights into the nuanced perspectives of prominent thinkers and writers.

In addition to its literary analyses, the volume broadens its focus to include sociocultural studies, such as feminine representations in Old Russian literature and art, and an examination of Jewish reforms during the Enlightened Absolutism era in Europe. Scholars and enthusiasts of Slavic studies will find this edition invaluable for its depth, as it bridges historical documentation and theoretical frameworks, enriching the discourse on Slavic influence across disciplines.
