Raven’s Echo by Robert Davis (review)
Reviewed by: Raven's Echo by Robert Davis Frederick White (bio) Raven's Echo by Robert Davis Hoffman University of Arizona Press, 2022 WHEN WE ENCOUNTER Raven from Tlingit artist and poet Robert Davis Hoffman's perspective, the artist engages in a modern recasting of Raven's power and influence from a traditional Tlingit and settler fusion. He quotes "Raven's rhythm" in the preface, claiming these words "are Raven's echo," and his rhythmic moveme…
The Russian Avant-Garde and Radical Modernism
The Russian avant-garde was a composite of antagonistic groups who wished to overthrow the basic aesthetics of classical realism. Modernism was the totality of these numerous aesthetic theories, which achieved a measure of coherence immediately after the First World War. This collection of essays by leading scholars examines the major figures, movements, and manifestos of the period. Scholarly attention is given to literature, visual arts, cinema…
Fashion and Intolerance
British Lord, American Movie Idol and Soviet Counterculture Figure
For an entire generation of Soviet youth, Tarzan was a provocative symbol of individualism and personal freedom. Previous scholarship has included Tarzan within the larger counterculture movement of the thaw period (1953–64), but has not specifically examined how this occurred. Joseph S. Nye has coined the term soft power to describe the ability to attract and to co-opt rather than to force another nation into accepting your ideals. Within this r…
Degeneration, decadence and disease in the Russian fin de siècle
By the first decade of the twentieth century, Russia was experiencing a decadent period of cultural degeneration. Simultaneous with this artistic response, science was developing ways to identify medical conditions that supposedly reflected the health of the entire nation. Leonid Andreev (1871–1919), the leading literary figure of his time, stepped into the breech of this scientific discourse with literary works about degenerates. The spirited so…

Peering into the Abyss
This essay argues that Leonid Andreev’s (1871–1919) short story “The Abyss” (Bezdna) is an important and often misunderstood response to Lev Tolstoi’s (1828–1910) novella Kreutzer Sonata (Kreitserova Sonata), representing a fundamental shift in the way that pessimistic philosophy and degeneration theory would be incorporated into the cultural, intellectual and literary discourse of the Russian fin de siècle. For Andreev, intellectual currents wer…
Rethinking Native American Language Revitalization
As many linguists continue to work with and analyze First Nations/Native American languages, the consensus opinion usually direly predicts the loss of daily use for almost all of the extant Indigenous languages.1 Tremendous efforts are being expended for renewing, revitalizing, and restoring these languages to everyday use. The model upon which much Native American language renewal research is based—second language acquisition or second language …
Pushkin and the Genres of Madness
In 1833 Alexander Pushkin began to consider the topic of madness, a subject little explored in Russian literature before his time. He brilliantly plumbed both the destructive and creative sides of madness, a strange fusion of violence and insight. Gary Rosenshield illustrates the surprising valorization of madness in the prose novella The Queen of Spades and the lyric God Grant That I Not Lose My Mind and analyzes the poem The Bronze Horseman for…
Zamiatin’s Fact and Fiction
The literary portrait is a specific type of memoir literature. It is usually a fragment of a larger memoir or a totally independent monographic portrait, written by a professional writer. Literary portraits are highly subjective, but it is accepted that they are based on fact, with some leeway for presentation. The portrait then sits uneasily on the border of fact and fiction but stakes its claim as a stylized or interpretive history of an indivi…
Life along the Margins
Southern California serves as the location for the incidents described here. An up-and-coming midsize university, noted for its yearly rise in the U.S. News: America's Best Colleges to the top twenty-five universities of its size, locates and contextualizes these experiences along my journey. My encounters reflect transitions from being an undergraduate student, to a graduate student, to part-time faculty, and eventually, to a full-time assistant…

Maxim Gorky
Cursed Days
On July 30, 1925, Vera Muromtseva-Bunina, the wife of the Russian writer Ivan Bunin (who was soon to win the Nobel Prize for Literature), wrote in her diary: Ian [her name for her husband] has torn up and burned all his diary manuscripts. am very angry. 'I don't want to be seen in my underwear, ' he told me. Seeing Vera so upset, Bunin confided to her: I have another diary in the form of a notebook... This is the diary that Bunin published in 193…
Maksim Gorky
It has been Gorky's great misfortune to be remembered mostly for the wrong things - for his apparent support of the Stalin regime; for his direct involvement in the foundation of the Union of Soviet Writers; and for the composition of the novel Mother (held up by generations of Soviet critics as the model for Socialist Realist fiction). With the advent of glasnost and perestroika, and the subsequent collapse of the Soviet order itself, these conv…
Chekhov and Russian Religious Culture
A study of the Virgin Mary and the saintly harlots - Mary of Egypt and Mary Magdalene - as a cultural paradigm encoded in Chekhov's prose. The author establishes the authority of the Marian paradigm in 19th-century Russian culture with an overview of salient religious and literary texts, then offers critical readings of more than 15 Chekhov stories, including key works such as Peasants, Peasant Women, and My Life. De Sherbinin argues that Chekhov…
