The traumatic events associated with the man who reigned as Tsar Dmitry have haunted the Russian imagination for four hundred years. Was Dmitry legitimate, the last scion of the House of Rurik, or was he an upstart pretender? A harbinger of Russia's doom or a herald of progress? Writing the Time of Troubles traces the proliferation of fictional representations of Dmitry in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Russia, showing how playwrights and novelists reshaped and appropriated his brief and equivocal career as a means of drawing attention to and negotiating the social anxieties of their own times.Unknown nineteenth century.Kings and rulers in literatureRussian literature18th centuryHistory and criticismRussian literature19th centuryHistory and criticismFalse Dmitry.Historical formalism.Historical poetics.Literature and law.Russian historical drama.Russian historical novels.Time of Troubles.Trauma narratives.Kings and rulers in literature.Russian literatureHistory and criticism.Russian literatureHistory and criticism.891.709/35847045Morris Marcia A.1952-1632713MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910813182303321Writing the time of troubles3972070UNINA
