In his masterful study, Levitt shows the visual to have had deep indigenous roots in Russian Orthodox culture and theology, arguing that the visual played a crucial role in the formation of early modern Russian culture and identity.Levitt traces the early modern Russian quest for visibility from jubilant self-discovery, to serious reflexivity, to anxiety and crisis. The book examines verbal constructs of sight?in poetry, drama, philosophy, theology, essay, memoir?that provide evidence for understanding the special character of vision of the epoch. Levitt's groundbreaking work represents both a new reading of various central and lesser known texts and a broader revisualization of Russian eighteenth-century culture.Works that have considered the intersections of Russian literature and the visual in recent years have dealt almost exclusively with the modern period or with icons. The Visual Dominant in Eighteenth-Century Russia is an important addition to the scholarship and will be of major interest to scholars and students of Russian literature, culture, and religion, and specialists on the Enlightenment. 606 $aRussian literature$xHistory and criticism$y18th century 606 $aVisual perception in literature 606 $aVision in literature 610 $aindigenous roots in Russian Orthodox culture and theology, sight in eighteenth-century Russian, effects of visuals on formation of early modern Russian culture and identity, Russian quest for visibility, intersections of Russian literature and the visual. 615 0$aRussian literature$xHistory and criticism 615 0$aVisual perception in literature. 615 0$aVision in literature. 676 $a891.709/002 700 $aLevitt$b Marcus C.$f1954-$0916900 702 $aAllshouse$b Shaun 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910820201803321 996 $aThe visual dominant in eighteenth-century Russia$93928325 997 $aUNINA
