Creating the Nation: Identity and Aesthetics in Early Nineteenth-century Russia and Bohemia

David L. Cooper
4.9/5 (9292 ratings)
Description: Offering an incisive new study of literature and nationalism, Cooper examines fundamental developments in Russian and Czech literature and criticism from 1800 to 1830, a period that has largely been neglected in the English-language scholarship. While other books have focused on the question of why developing nations look to literature as a source of national identity, Cooper asks why ideas of nationality were necessary for critics and writers seeking to evolve new genres and forms and modernize literary values. Cooper’s ambitious work produces a clear picture of the paradigm shift in literary values that drove the development of national identity and demonstrates how critical this period is to understanding the major trends and concerns of Russian and Czech literatures over the 19th century.With its broad scope, this groundbreaking comparison of two national literatures will interest a wide range of scholars and students of cultural and intellectual history and those who study the interaction between nationalism and literature. Creating the Nation will appeal to historians and historically minded political scientists and sociologists, along with specialists in Russian and Czech literatures. We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
