Abolishing Death: A Salvation Myth of Russian Twentieth-Century Literature
Irene Masing-Delic
The idea of abolishing death was one of the most influential myth-making concepts expressed in Russian literature from 1900 to 1930, especially in the works of writers who attributed a "life-modeling" function to art. The author finds the seeds of this extraordinary concept in the erosion of traditional religion in late-nineteenth-century Russia.
