Full Description
The Imperial Sublime examines the rise of the Russian empire as a literary theme simultaneous with the creation and evolution of Russian poetry between the 1730s and 1840 - a century during which poets defined the central questions facing Russian literature and society. Harsha Ram shows how imperial ideology was more than a matter of justifying and celebrating Russia's greatness and power, and how it became enmeshed in an unexpectedly wide range of issues - from formal problems of genre, style, and lyric voice to the vexed relationship between the poet and the ruling monarch.
