Aptekman investigates the questions of when, how and why Kabbalah has been used in Russian literary texts from Pre-Romanticism to Modernism and what particular role it played in the larger context of the Russian literary tradition. The correct understanding of this liaison helps the reader to clarify many enigmatic images in Russian literary works of the last two centuries and to understand the roots of a particular cultural falsification that played an important role in the anti-Semitic mythology of the twentieth century. 410 0$aBorderlines (Boston, Mass.) 606 $aOccultism$zRussia$xHistory 606 $aCabala in literature 606 $aCabala$xInfluence 606 $aCabala$xHistory 606 $aRussian literature$xThemes, motives 606 $aRussian literature$xHistory and criticism 608 $aAnthologies$2lcgft 615 0$aOccultism$xHistory. 615 0$aCabala in literature. 615 0$aCabala$xInfluence. 615 0$aCabala$xHistory. 615 0$aRussian literature$xThemes, motives. 615 0$aRussian literature$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a891.70938276 700 $aAptekman$b Marina$0990111 712 02$aNational Endowment for the Humanities and The Andrew W.
