How Women Must Write: Inventing the Russian Woman Poet (Studies in Russian Literature and Theory) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

<div>In <i>How Women Must Write</i>, Olga Peters Hasty takes us from an emphatically male Romantic&#160;age to a modernist period preoccupied with women&#8217;s creativity but also with its containment.&#160;In late nineteenth and early twentieth-century Russia, the woman poet was invented: by&#160;women poets themselves, by readers who projected gender biases into their poems, and&#160;by male poets who wrote posing as women. Examining Karolina Pavlova and Evdokiia&#160;Rostopchina, who inspired those writing after them, as well as two women invented by men, Cherubina de Gabriak and Briusov&#8217;s Nelli, and challenges to male authority by Marina&#160;Tsvetaeva and Anna Akhmatova, this book shows women as&#160;purposeful actors realizing themselves creatively and advancing the woman poet&#8217;s cause. It will appeal to the general&#160;reader and to specialists in Russian literature, women&#8217;s studies, and cultural history.</div>
