This book argues that, at the turn into the twentieth century, Russian popular culture for the first time found itself in direct confrontation with the traditional high cultures of the upper classes and intelligentsia, producing modernized representations of sexuality. This Russian tradition of conflicted representations, heretofore misassessed by literary history, emerges as what Foucault would call a full-blown ?bio-history? of Russian culture: a history of indigenous representations of sexuality and the eroticized body capable of innovation on its own terms, not just those derivative from Europe. 410 0$aRussian history and culture ;$vRH8. 606 $aRussian literature$y19th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aRussian literature$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aLibertines in literature 606 $aModernism (Literature) 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aRussian literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aRussian literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aLibertines in literature. 615 0$aModernism (Literature) 676 $a891.7/09358 700 $aLalo$b Alexei$0887497 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910457810203321 996 $aLibertinage in Russian culture and literature$91982605 997 $aUNINA
