Farewell to Communism: Children's and Teen Literature in Contemporary Russia (1991–2017)
14.99 €
Over the last century, Russia has experienced several major social and political cataclysms at once. The consequences of these upheavals have included radical transformations in children's experience, both at the beginning and at the end of the twentieth century. Andrea Lanoux, Kelly Herold, and Olga Bukhina's book explores the new literature for children and young adults that emerged after 1991. Beginning with the historical background - Soviet children's literature - the authors of the book explore the changes that have occurred in the publishing process in the post-Soviet period, describe mass children's literature, and elaborate on the emergence of new poetry and prose for young readers. How has the hero of children's literature changed over the past thirty years? How does its reader appear today? Have the new authors who have appeared in children's literature since the collapse of the USSR managed to find a new language to describe the experiences of post-Soviet children and adolescents? Andrea Lanoux is a Slavic philologist and specialist in Russian and Polish literature, Connecticut College, New London, Connecticut. Kelly Herold is a Slavic philologist and lecturer in Russian language and adolescent literature, Grinnell College, Grinnell, Iowa. Olga Bukhina is an independent researcher, translator, literary critic, and specialist in children's literature.
