A History of Russian Women's Writing 1820–1992

Russian women's writing is now attracting enormous interest both in the West and in Russia itself. Written from a feminist perspective, this book combines a broad historical survey with close textual analysis. Sections on women's writing in the periods 1820–80, 1881–1917, 1917–54, and 1953–92 are followed by chapters on individual writers. Drawing on a wide range of sources, including rare literary journals and almanacs, the book shows familiar figures such as Akhmatova, Tsevtaeva, and Tolstaya in a new context and brings to light a colourful gallery of fascinating but neglected writers including Elena Gan, NadezhdaTeffi, Natalya Baranskaya, and Nina Sadur. The text is supported by quotations from the Russian, all accompanied by English translations
