Join CMU Associate Professor of Russian Studies Tatyana Gershkovich for the launch of this new book, translated and edited with Stephen H. Backwell, and recently published by Academic Studies Press!
Yuli Aikhenvald was one of the most popular and influential Russian literary critics of the early 1900s. His major book, Silhouettes of Russian Writers, went through six ever-expanding editions. A major presence in Vladimir Nabokov’s early career, Aikhenvald has since been neglected by other writers and critics. This collection translates several of Aikhenvald’s key essays, making him available to English-speaking readers for the first time.
