Each chapter of the book revolves around the major events of Catherine's reign (and some major literary works) that give a broad framework to discuss the evolution of important recurring motifs and images. 410 0$aArs Rossika. 606 $aRussian poetry$y18th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aSymbolism in literature 606 $aPower (Social sciences) in literature 606 $aPolitics and literature$zRussia$xHistory$y18th century 615 0$aRussian poetry$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aSymbolism in literature. 615 0$aPower (Social sciences) in literature. 615 0$aPolitics and literature$xHistory 676 $a891.71/2093581222 700 $aProskurina$b V.
