A Fallen Idol Is Still a God: Lermontov and the Quandaries of Cultural Transitio

Description: A Fallen Idol Is Still a God by Elizabeth Cheresh Allen Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description A Fallen Idol is Still a God demonstrates how the works of the seminal nineteenth-century Russian author Mikhail Lermontov reflect the cultural transition out of Romanticism and the dynamics of cultural transition itself. Publisher Description A Fallen Idol Is Still a God elucidates the historical distinctiveness and significance of the seminal nineteenth-century Russian poet, playwright, and novelist Mikhail Iurevich Lermontov (1814-1841). It does so by demonstrating that Lermontovs works illustrate the condition of living in an epoch of transition. Lermontovs particular epoch was that of post-Romanticism, a time when the twilight of Romanticism was dimming but the dawn of Realism had yet to appear. Through close and comparative readings, the book explores the singular metaphysical, psychological, ethical, and aesthetic ambiguities and ambivalences that mark Lermontovs works, and tellingly reflect the transition out of Romanticism and the nature of post-Romanticism. Overall, the book reveals that, although confined to his transitional epoch, Lermontov did not succumb to it; instead, he probed its character and evoked its historical import. And the book concludes that Lermontovs works have resonance for our transitional era in the early twenty-first century as well.
