**Unearthing the Lost Epic: A Deep Dive into Selvinsky’s *Ulyalaevshchina***
For fans of Russian avant-garde literature and the turbulent history of Soviet poetry, this monograph by Anna Krasnikova is an essential scholarly resource. It offers the first systematic study of the textual history behind Ilya Selvinsky’s magnum opus, the avant-garde poem Ulyalaevshchina. Once celebrated by contemporaries, the work was later pushed to the margins of literary study due to numerous and drastic revisions.
Krasnikova meticulously reconstructs the poem’s complex journey: its creation, its many rewritings, and its various publications. The analysis draws on all known printed and archival sources, with many documents being introduced to academic discourse for the first time. Employing both traditional philological methods and modern textual analysis, the author provides a comparative study of all existing versions of the poem.
This book is a vital reference for literary scholars, textologists, and anyone deeply interested in 20th-century Russian literature. At 2241.00 RUR, it is an authoritative addition to any serious collection on Soviet modernism.
