An inherently interdisciplinary project, Epic Revisionism features pieces on literary and cultural history, film, opera, and theater. This volume pairs scholarly essays with selections drawn from Stalin-era primary sources-newspaper articles, unpublished archival documents, short stories-to provide students and specialists with the richest possible understanding of this understudied phenomenon in modern Russian history."These scholars shed a great deal of light not only on Stalinist culture but on the politics of cultural production under the Soviet system."-David L.
