Description for Carnival Culture and the Soviet Modernist Novel
Paperback. Series: St Antony's. Num Pages: 275 pages, biography. BIC Classification: DSBH; JFC. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 216 x 140 x 16. Weight in Grams: 360.
This book examines the work of five Soviet prose writers - Olesha, Platonov, Kharms, Bulgakov and Vaginov - in the light of the carnivalesque elements of Russian popular culture. It shows that while Bakhtin's account of carnival culture sheds considerable light on the work of these writers, they need to be considered with reference to both the concrete forms of Russian and Soviet popular culture and the changing institutional framework of Soviet society in the 1920s and 1930s.
