The material on which Milla Fedorova bases her study comprises a curious phenomenon of the waning nineteenth and early twentieth centuries?pilgrimages to America by prominent Russian writers who then created travelogues. The writers' missions usually consisted of two parts: the physical journey, which most of the writers considered as ideologically significant, and the literary fruit of the pilgrimages.Until now, the American travelogue has not been recognized and studied as a particular kind of narration with its own canons. Arguing that the primary cultural model for Russian writers' journey to America is Dante's descent into Hell, Federova ultimately reveals how America is represented as the country of "dead souls" where objects and machines have exchanged places with people, where relations between the living and the dead are inverted. 606 $aAmericans in literature 606 $aAuthors, Russian$xTravel$zUnited States 606 $aTravelers' writings, Russian$y19th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aTravelers' writings, Russian$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 607 $aUnited States$xDescription and travel$xIn literature 610 $aprominent Russian writers, American writing travelogue. 615 0$aAmericans in literature. 615 0$aAuthors, Russian$xTravel 615 0$aTravelers' writings, Russian$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aTravelers' writings, Russian$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a891.709/35873 700 $aFedorova$b Milla$01549141 702 $aAllshouse$b Shaun 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910787842903321 996 $aYankees in Petrograd, bolsheviks in New York$93806824 997 $aUNINA
