Download or read book The Russian Context written by Eloise M. Boyle and published by Slavica Publishers. This book was released on 2002 with total page 752 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Produced to complement Gerhart's previous book, The Russian's World, this substantial tome contains a dozen contributed chapters (from professors at various American universities) on many aspects of Russian culture, including poetry, prose, children's literature, theater, art, popular entertainment, geography, and government. The idea is to present cultural context that enables and enhances study of the language. While most readers are likely to have had some Russian, those with just an interest in Russian culture will also find the material accessible and useful. Arrangement is in sections on history, language, spectacle, and reality; and appendices supply additional information and resources. Indexing is in both English and Russian.
