Lyric Poetry and Modern Politics: Russia, Poland, and the West

Lyric Poetry and Modern Politics: Russia, Poland, and the West

by Clare Cavanagh (Author), Clare Cavanagh (Author)

Synopsis

Explores the intersection of poetry, national life, and national identity in Poland and Russia since 1917. This book demonstrates how the practice of the personal lyric in totalitarian states such as Russia and Poland did not represent an escapist tendency; rather it reverberated as a bold political statement and at times a dangerous act.
