This is the first book in the English language to provide an indepth analysis of the emergence of Russia's literary academia in the pre-Revolutionary era. In particular, Byford examines the rhetoric of self-representation of major academic establishments devoted to literary study, the canonization of exemplary literary historians and philologists, and attempts by Russian literary academics of this era to define their work as a distinct form of scholarship. |
