From 1911 until his death, Voloshin led a circle in the Crimean village of Koktebel' that was a haven for such literary luminaries as Marina Tsvetaeva, Nikolai Gumilev, and Osip Mandelshtam. Drawing upon the anthropological theories of Victor Turner, Walker depicts the literary circle of late Imperial Russia as a contradictory mix of idealism and "communitas," on the one hand, and traditional Russian patterns of patronage and networking, on the other." "While detailing the colorful history of Voloshinov's circle in the pre- and postrevolutionary decades, the book demonstrates that the literary circle and its leaders played a key role in integrating the intelligentsia into the emerging ethos of the Soviet state."--JacketRussian literatureSocieties, etcIntellectualsRussiaHistory20th centuryIntellectualsSoviet UnionHistoryLiterature and stateRussiaLiterature and stateSoviet UnionRussian literatureSocieties, etc.IntellectualsHistoryIntellectualsHistory.Literature and stateLiterature and state891.71/3Walker Barbara1958-1005655MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910820266003321Maximilian Voloshin and the Russian literary circle2312561UNINA
