Reviews"This collection of studies by American, British,Scandinavian, Russian and Israeli scholars is a welcome contribution to ourknowledge of Belyi's extraordinary novel. ... What this collection does, and doesbrilliantly, is not so much to promote Petersburg to a wider readership as toprovide a fascinating companion-guide, a complex and erudite Baedecker to theliving world of Belyi's invention, a guide which helps us situate it in itsearly twentieth-century Russian and European context." --Avril Pyman, Universityof Durham, Slavonic and East European Review Vol. 96, No. 4

SynopsisCelebrating the one-hundredth anniversary of Andrey Bely's Petersburg , this volume offers a cross-section of essays that address the most pertinent aspects of his 1916 masterpiece. The plot is relatively a simple one: Nikolai Apollonovich is ordered by a group of terrorists to assassinate his father, the prominent senator, Apollon Apollonovich Ableukhov. Nevertheless, Bely's polyphonic, experimental prose invokes such diverse themes as: Greek mythology, the apocalypse, family dynamics, psychology, Russian history, theosophy, revolution, and European literary influences. Considered by Vladimir Nabokov to be one of the twentieth century's four greatest masterpieces, Petersburg is the first novel in which the city is the hero. Frequently compared to Joyce's Ulysses , no novel did more to help launch modernism in turn-of-the century Russia., Celebrating the one-hundredth anniversary of Andrey Bely's Petersburg , this volume offers a cross-section of essays that address the most pertinent aspects of his 1916 masterpiece.
