How Russia Learned to Write by Irina Reyfman
Illuminates the surprisingly diverse effects of the Table of Ranks on writers, their work, and literary culture in Russia. From Sumarokov and Derzhavin in the eighteenth century through Pushkin, Gogol, Dostoevsky, and poets serving in the military in the nineteenth, state service affected the self-images of writers and the themes of their creative output.
“Demonstrat[es] that much of what we know about Russian writers' relationships to state service is interpretation, and Reyfman provides thought-provoking alternative readings”—Eighteenth-Century Fiction
