Book Description
This is the first volume to consistently examine Soviet engagement with world literature from multiple institutional and disciplinary perspectives: intellectual history, literary history and theory, comparative literature, translation studies, diaspora studies. Its emphasis is on the lessons one could learn from the Soviet attention to world literature; as such, the present volume makes a significant contribution to current debates on world literature beyond the field of Slavic and East European Studies and foregrounds the need to think of world literature pluralistically, in a manner that is not restricted by the agendas of Anglophone academe.

Book Description
A long-awaited corrective to the controversial idea of world literature, from a major voice in the field. Katerina Clark charts interwar efforts by Soviet, European, and Asian leftist writers to create a Eurasian commons: a single cultural space that would overcome national, cultural, and linguistic differences in the name of an anticapitalist, anti-imperialist, and later antifascist aesthetic. At the heart of this story stands the literary arm of the Communist International, or Comintern, anchored in Moscow but reaching Baku, Beijing, London, and parts in between. Its mission attracted diverse networks of writers who hailed from Turkey, Iran, India, and China, as well as the Soviet Union and Europe. Between 1919 and 1943, they sought to establish a new world literature to rival the capitalist republic of Western letters. Eurasia without Borders revises standard accounts of global twentieth-century literary movements. The Eurocentric discourse of world literature focuses on transatlantic interactions, largely omitting the international left and its Asian members. Meanwhile, postcolonial studies have overlooked the socialist-aligned world in favor of the clash between Western European imperialism and subaltern resistance. Clark provides the missing pieces, illuminating a distinctive literature that sought to fuse European and vernacular Asian traditions in the name of a post-imperialist culture. Socialist literary internationalism was not without serious problems, and at times it succumbed to an orientalist aesthetic that rivaled any coming from Europe. Its history is marked by both promise and tragedy. With clear-eyed honesty, Clark traces the limits, compromises, and achievements of an ambitious cultural collaboration whose resonances in later movements can no longer be ignored.

Book Description
In the U.S.S.R. Shakespeare's works have been published in over five million copies in 28 languages spoken by the various peoples of the Soviet Union. More than 300 productions of Shakespeare's plays have been put on in the country's theatres in the course of the last few years. The four-volume Soviet hundred-thousand copy edition of Shakespeare in English which came out between 1937 and 1939 has long since become a bibliographical rarity. These are just a few statistics which give some idea of Shakespeare's popularity in the Soviet Union. This collection has been prepared for publication by the Commission for the Study of Shakespeare attached to the Institute of World Literature of the U.S.S.R. Academy of Sciences. The book represents a cross-section of articles by distinguished Soviet writers, critics, scholars and people of the theatre. The continuity between Soviet Shakespeareana and the democratic traditions of Russian 19th-century criticism is ensured by the fact that the foundations of the former were laid by M. Gorky and A. Lunacharsky. The first part of this collection includes works by well-known students of Shakespeare such as I. Aksenov, A. Smirnov, M. Morozov, A. Anikst and others. In the second part, entitled Shakespeare and the Theatre, the reader will And a representative selection of articles by producers and actors---K. Stanislavsky, A. Ostuzhev, G. Ulanova, N. Okhlopkov and others---who have had a hand in reincarnating the deathless characters of the great playwright on the Soviet stage and screen. More than forty years of Soviet studies of Shakespeare will pass in review before the reader of this book. It is hoped that it will serve as an introduction to a new andvaluable chapter in the history of world studies of Shakespeare and of Shakespeare's theatre.

Book Description
This book offers a comprehensive guide to global literary engagement with the Cold War. Eschewing the common focus on national cultures, the collection defines Cold War literature as an international current focused on the military and ideological conflicts of the age and characterised by styles and approaches that transcended national borders. Drawing on specialists from across the world, the volume analyses the period’s fiction, poetry, drama and autobiographical writings in three sections: dominant concerns (socialism, decolonisation, nuclearism, propaganda, censorship, espionage), common genres (postmodernism, socialism realism, dystopianism, migrant poetry, science fiction, testimonial writing) and regional cultures (Asia, Africa, Oceania, Europe and the Americas). In doing so, the volume forms a landmark contribution to Cold War literary studies which will appeal to all those working on literature of the 1945-1989 period, including specialists in comparative literature, postcolonial literature, contemporary literature and regional literature.
