Reviews
"With her illustrated monograph Voiceless Vanguard: The Infantilist Aesthetic of the Russian Avant-Garde, Sara Pankenier Weld makes an original contribution to both the large and extensive field of Russian avant-garde studies, and the burgeoning field of the study of Russian and Soviet children's culture and literature. The book contains keen analysis of works, original material, and many insights that ought to be of interest also in a transnational, comparative perspective and in relation to the question of the child and primitivism in Western art. One might thus hope that the book will reach a broad audience of not only Slavists, but also art historians and readers with a general interest in children's culture and literature." -- Barnboken: Journal of Children's Literature Research "Pankenier Weld's impressive book contributes meaningfully to several areas of scholarly research: theory of European modernism and the avant-garde; children's literature and theories of childhood; and Russian literary theory and history. Finally, Voiceless Vanguard convinces the reader that 'infantilism is to be found almost everywhere [where] there is a modern aesthetic'. Weld takes the connection between children's art, writing and speech and the avant-garde's radical formal experiments to a new theoretical level." -- International Research in Children's Literature, "This monograph presents a persuasive and important argument for the role of the child in the aesthetics of the Russian avant-garde. Weld's study goes well beyond her four main subjects--Mikhail Larionov, Aleksei Kruchenykh, Viktor Shklovskii, and Daniil Kharms--and even beyond Russian art and literature to the nature of avant-garde art in general. It should therefore be of great interest to scholars and students of late imperial and early Soviet Russian culture, avant-garde art and literature, and childhood studies and children's literature. Through meticulous scholarship, archival research, and close analysis, Voiceless Vanguard demonstrates the importance of the child to Larionov's art, Kruchenykh's and Kharms's writings, and Shklovskii's literary and aesthetic theory." -- Slavic Review , "With her illustrated monograph Voiceless Vanguard: The Infantilist Aesthetic of the Russian Avant-Garde, Sara Pankenier Weld makes an original contribution to both the large and extensive field of Russian avant-garde studies, and the burgeoning field of the study of Russian and Soviet children's culture and literature.

Synopsis
Winner, 2015 International Research Society in Children's Literature (IRSCL) Book Award Voiceless Vanguard: The Infantilist Aesthetic of the Russian Avant-Garde offers a new approach to the Russian avant-garde. It argues that central writers, artists, and theorists of the avant-garde self-consciously used an infantile aesthetic, as inspired by children's art, language, perspective, and logic, to accomplish the artistic renewal they were seeking in literature, theory, and art. It treats the influence of children's drawings on the Neo-Primitivist art of Mikhail Larionov, the role of children's language in the Cubo-Futurist poetics of Aleksei Kruchenykh, the role of the naive perspective in the Formalist theory of Viktor Shklovsky, and the place of children's logic and lore in Daniil Kharms's absurdist writings for children and adults. This interdisciplinary and cultural study not only illuminates a rich period in Russian culture but also offers implications for modernism in a wider Western context, where similar principles apply., Winner, 2015 International Research Society in Children's Literature (IRSCL) Book Award Voiceless Vanguard: The Infantilist Aesthetic of the Russian Avant-Garde offers a new approach to the Russian avant-garde. It argues that central writers, artists, and theorists of the avant-garde self-consciously used an infantile aesthetic, as inspired by children's art, language, perspective, and logic, to accomplish the artistic renewal they were seeking in literature, theory, and art.
