The authors bring a new approach to the study of this period, exploring the literary phenomenon through two theoretical models from the social sciences: Orientalism and the notion of cultural capital associated with Pierre Bourdieu. Examining the responses of leading literary practitioners who had a significant impact on the institutional transmission of Russian culture, they reassess the mechanics of cultural dialogism, mediation and exchange, casting new light on British perceptions of modernism as a transcultural artistic movement and the ways in which the literary interaction with the myth of Russia shaped and intensified these cultural views." --Page 4 of cover.English literature20th centuryHistory and criticismEnglish literatureHistory and criticism.820.9/35847Soboleva Olga1959-936208Wrenn AngusNjHacINjHaclBOOK9910476786203321From orientalism to cultural capital2109052UNINA
