The Oxford Handbook of the Russian Novel

The Oxford Handbook of the Russian Novel brings together top specialists in Russian literature to treat the Russian novel from the late 18th to the 21st century, using a range of interpretive perspectives. The Russian novel is a distinctive tradition by virtue of its formal eccentricities, as well as the boldness with which these works approached the most complex philosophical, political, and moral questions. This Handbook treats well-known works and authors but also explores the much broader tradition of the Russian novel up to the present. The essays in the Handbook provide cultural and historical perspectives on the Russian novel, as well as showcasing emergent modes of analysis, including postcolonialism, ecocriticism, and posthumanism.
