Soviet Russian Literature: Writers and Problems, 1917-19771917 thru 1977 has witnessed a great deal of literary ferment in Soviet Russia, as well as a major "third emigration" of writers to the West--including, of course, the great figure of the period, Solzhenitsyn. Marc Slonim's comprehensive critical survey of the Soviet literary scene since 1917--widely acclaimed upon its original publication in 1964--now puts into social and historical context this diffuse literary activity. |
