  • Gogol's Aesthetics Compared to Major Elements of German Romanticism

    John M Kopper, John Kopper et al.ARTICLEThe Russian Review1997

    Scholars have traditionally underestimated Gogol as a theorist and critic of art. Taking a fresh look at his fictional and nonfictional work, the author finds compelling evidence that Gogol was a conscious and rather consistent thinker. Gogol's basic assumptions concerning the role of the poet, the nature of the creative process, and the spiritual dimension of art are shown to coincide significantly with the aesthetics of early German Romanticism…

  • Surrealism under Fire

    John M KopperARTICLEThe Russian Review1996

    Its script resembles Tom Wolfe's The Electric Kool-AidAcid Test. A countercultural commune, engaged in a desultory and obscurely antisocial search for forms of altered consciousness, ostentatiously celebrates its marginality through a series of minor and largely ineffectual scandals. Boris Poplavskii's Apollon Bezobrazov describes one of interwar Paris's lost generations, young Russian emigres who possessed only a schoolboy's knowledge of their n…

  • Nabokov's Art of Memory and European Modernism

    John M Kopper, John Burt FosterARTICLEThe Russian Review1994Cited by: 1

    Despite Vladimir Nabokov's hostility toward literary labels, he clearly recognized his own place in cultural history. In a fresh approach stressing Nabokov's European context, John Foster shows how this writer's art of memory intersects with early twentieth-century modernism. Tracing his interests in temporal perspective and the mnemonic image, in intertextual reminiscences, and in individuality amid cultural multiplicity, the book begins with su…

  • Building Walls and Jumping over Them

    John M KopperARTICLEModern Language Notes1983

    Franz Kafka's work has always seduced us into metaphor. Always partly anchored in our notion of the real, always simultaneously inscribed in a mentality beyond, his novels and stories invite an interpretative activity that will explain the fantastic in terms of the real. Hence the frequency with which we ask of an image in Kafka, or of an entire text, What does it mean? Why the cockroach? for example. In responding to the question, we construct a…
