Spaces of Creativity (RUS)

In the six essays of this book Ksana Blank examines affinities among works of nineteenth and twentieth-century Russian literature and their connections to the visual arts and music. Blank demonstrates that the borders of authorial creativity are not stable and absolute that talented artists often transcend the classifications and paradigms established by critics. Featured in the volume are works by Alexander Pushkin Fyodor Dostoevsky Leo Tolstoy Vladimir Nabokov Daniil Kharms Kazimir Malevich Mstislav Dobuzhinsky and Dmitri Shostakovich.
