From Petersburg to Bloomington: Essays in Honor of Nina Perlina

Colleagues and former studens of Nina Perlina, Professor Emerita of Slavic Languages and Literature at Indiana University, Bloomington, IN, have assembled a volume of essays reflecting her research and teaching foci: the Petersburg theme in Russian literature., from Pushikin, Gogol, and especially Dostoevsky, through Nabokov, and into the Siege of World War II; and studies in the thought of Mikail Bakhitn and his contemporaries and more generally, philosophical aesthetics. From Petersburg to Bloomington offers pieces by well-known scholars in the U.S., Russia, and Europe, on Dostoevksy, Zamiatin, and others, and will appeal to specialist in nineteenth- and twentieth-century Russian literature and culture.
