Abstract

New Russia or Old?
Krutch, Joseph Wood | February 11, 1925 issue

add to cart   close window

The article presents information about the books "The Clock," by Aleksei Remizov and "Tales of the Wilderness," by Boris Pilniak, translated by F. O'Demsey with an introduction by Prince D.S. Mirsky. Mirsky begins his introduction to "Tales of the Wilderness" with the statement that the English reading public knows next to nothing of contemporary Russian literature and then, as he proceeds to discuss the prose writers and comes very near to saying that they are not worth knowing. Politically, perhaps, Russia has taken on a new life but literature is a slower growth than government and artistically she is still hesitating between the dead world and the world which is still powerless to be born.
