Terror and Pity: Aleksandr Sumarokov and the Theater of Power in Elizabethan Russia - Imperial Encounters in Russian History
Kirill Ospovat
Situated on the intersection of comparative literary criticism, political history and theory, and cultural analysis, Terror and Pity offers an in-depth reading of early Russian tragedy as a political genre. Addressing half-forgotten texts and events, this study engages with literary and cultural theory from Walter Benjamin to Foucault and “new historicism”.
