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 Nabokovâs early career, Aikhenvald has since been neglected by other writers and critics. This collection translates several of Aikhenvaldâs key essays, making him available to English-speaking readers for the first time. Todayâs readers will discover in these writings original, impassioned interpretations of major Russian authors and a theoretical vision that grapples with an urgent question in this âcrisis-of-the-humanitiesâ moment: What is the function of criticism? |
