The work in many libraries and archives where I searched for materials was in each case made possible by the kind and helpful attitude of the staff. Of particular importance for the present study were the materials found in the Library of Congress; the Helsinki Library in Finland; the Columbia University Library; the Bakhmetev Archive in New York; the Hoover In- stitution in Stanford, California; the Slavic Studies Library at the University of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana; the Slavonic Department of the New York Public Library; and, last but not least, the M. Gorky Institute of World Literature in Moscow. In the last few years I have become indebted to the following people for their help and assistance in the work on the political biography of Gorky: my late colleague and friend R. H. McNeal and V. S. Barakhov, M. V. Dmitriev, R. C. Elwood, K. Holden, A. Hornjatkevycˇ, L. V. Kuzmitcheva, M. Mote, J. Ould, H. Solomon, L. A. Spiridonova, J. Willman, and A. Zelnikov. To M. Carter and to A. Tulchinsky and V. Ourdeva, graduate students in the Division of Slavic Studies of the University of Alberta, many thanks for their technical help. I owe a special word of thanks to G. Olson and D. Rees for their invaluable help in the work of editing the manuscript. I am very grateful to two members of the Greenwood Publishing Group, Ms. L. Robinson, copyeditor, and Ms. H. Straight, production editor, for their superb work in preparing the manuscript for publication. Of course, any errors or omissions are entirely my responsibility. INTRODUCTION Maxim Gorky was and remains a hard man to know. After more than a quarter of a century of studying his works and his pronouncements and trying to understand the different roads he traveled during the crucial pe- riod in Russian history, one is left with many questions. Gorky’s life spanned two centuries. He was born during the reign of Alexander II, known as the Tsar Liberator, seven years after the aboliton of serfdom. He died in a totalitarian Soviet Union, with Stalin at its helm. Gorky is also that rarity, a famous writer without a biography. Although millions of copies of his works, literary and publicist, including a volumi- nous correspondence have been published and some unpublished sources have been available, a comprehensive biography of Gorky has never been written. How shall we explain that no attempts have been made, either in the Soviet Union or in the West to write an honest Gorky biography, com- prehensive and free from political bias? Some important pieces of evidence were buried during the Stalin era, and the published essays, correspondence, and his allegedly complete works were censored by the removal of unwanted evidence. Paragraphs have been de- leted or altered, and dates and names have often been omitted. All this made such a biography impossible to write. The inability of Soviet scholars to un- dertake the rather difficult task may be traced to the creation of a ‘‘Gorky myth.’’ The myth took its beginning with the writer’s first return to Russia from his second exile in 1928. In that myth, Gorky was hailed as ‘‘the first proletarian writer,’’ as an unwavering friend of Lenin, and later as the faithful follower of Stalin and his policies. It was acknowledged that the xii INTRODUCTION author of the Pesnia o burevestnike (The Song of the Stormy Petrel) who in his writing issued the call for revolution had erred in October 1917, when he first rejected the Revolution, but had later recanted. It was within the framework of the myth that one was permitted to write about Gorky’s life and work as if the man were subsumed in the story. In examining the Soviet record of works on Gorky we will find that his literary legacy was discussed, albeit within the framework allowed. As to Gorky’s revolution- ary path and involvement in the political life of tsarist Russia and then of the Soviet Union, little of substance was written. The exception was the book Gor’kii-revoliutsioner (Gorky the Revolutionary), authored by V. A. Bazarov (Rudnev) and published in 1929. Rudnev was purged in 1931, in the trial of the Mensheviks; his work, considered not politically correct, was buried in the archives. Therein appeared a number of one-volume bi- ographies of Gorky, written within the permitted limits. These portrayals of Gorky were rather superficial or simply not true. Gorky lived in the West and travelled widely. He had maintained close contact with many of the left-leaning intellectual e´lite, and as a result some of his writings and correspondence found its way to archives, university libraries, and private collections brought west by Russian e´migre´s. Until the period of glasnost’ (1985–1991), these sources were unavailable to scholars in the Soviet Union, given the controls imposed by the state. Today we know more about Gorky than we did a few years ago, as a result of revelations and debates that have been taking place since the pe- riod of glasnost’. Essays and articles began appearing in periodicals and newspapers in Russia; major works authored by writers and literary critics also were published. Among works recently published in the West on Gorky is Nikolaus Katzer’s Maksim Gorkijs Weg in die russische Sozialdemokratie, a scholarly political biography of Gorky to the year 1907. But by and large the new works published in the West in recent years are written by literary critics, often with an emphasis on the philosophical and psychological elements of Gorky the writer and the thinker. The present study is a political biography of Gorky. Much of the material used consists of Gorky’s works, mainly literary and publicistic, his rich epistolary legacy, published for the first time and important for our under- standing of Gorky in the prelude and postlude of the Revolution. Only recently released was the Gorky-Stalin correspondence for the period 1929– 1931. Similarly, the contacts with G. Yagoda, head of the infamous Unified State Political Administration (OGPU) have been documented in letters from 1928 to 1935. The material is arranged in chronological order. The work consists of nine chapters. In Chapters 1 and 2 Gorky’s early life and his introduction to the ideologies of populism and Marxism are discussed. Chapter 3, entitled ‘‘Gorky and The Revolution of 1905,’’ describes Gorky’s active participation in the events and emphasizes his genuinely INTRODUCTION xiii revolutionary spirit. The chapter ends with Gorky’s leaving the country in the face of imminent arrest in December 1905. Gorky’s unsuccessful mis- sion to the United States aimed at collecting funds for the revolution, which he believed was to continue, and at winning the sympathy of the Americans for his cause is the theme of Chapter 4. Chapter 5 is devoted to describing the details of Gorky’s life on the island of Capri. Unable to return to Russia, Gorky settled on the island of Capri where he spent the years of 1906 to 1913. The Capri period was an im- portant milestone in Gorky’s life. It was during that period that Gorky became for a while an ally of Lenin, the high point of that friendly asso- ciation being Gorky’s attendance, with a consultative voice, at the Fifth Congress of the Russian Social Democratic Workers’ Party (RSDWP) in 1907.

Collaborating with other teachers at these levels, they researched educational findings and methods and devised a chart of competency skills that would enable students to progress from seventh grade on to college or university. This guide is the result of their efforts at brainstorming about literature selections, thematic approaches, activities, issues, and writing directions that would teach these skills. The completed guide is a working notebook of methods, which, it is hoped, will effect a radical change in students' attitudes and competencies.

  • The Arts in Russia Under Stalin
    01_SOVMINDCH1. 12/19/03 11:23 AM Page 1 THE ARTS IN RUSSIA UNDER STALIN December 1945 The Soviet literary scene is a peculiar one, and in order to understand it few analogies from the West are of use. For a vari- ety of causes Russia has in historical times led a life to some degree isolated from the rest of the world, and never formed a genuine part of the Western tradition; indeed her literature has at all times provided evidence of a peculiarly ambivalent attitude with regard to the uneasy relationship between herself and the West, taking the form now of a violent and unsatisfied longing to enter and become part of the main stream of European life, now of a resentful (‘Scythian’) contempt for Western values, not by any means confined to professing Slavophils; but most often of an unresolved, self-conscious combination of these mutually opposed currents of feeling. This mingled emotion of love and of hate permeates the writing of virtually every well-known Russian author, sometimes rising to great vehemence in the protest against foreign influence which, in one form or another, colours the masterpieces of Griboedov, Pushkin, Gogol, Nekrasov, Dostoevsky, Herzen, Tolstoy, Chekhov, Blok. The October Revolution insulated Russia even more com- pletely, and her development became perforce still more self- regarding, self-conscious and incommensurable with that of its neighbours. It is not my purpose to trace the situation histori- cally, but the present is particularly unintelligible without at least a glance at previous events, and it would perhaps be convenient, and not too misleading, to divide its recent growth into three main stages – 1900–1928; 1928–1937; 1937 to the present – artifi- cial and over-simple though this can easily be shown to be.

  • Elisaveta Fen's Chekhov Translations Claire Warden Since The
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by Loughborough University Institutional Repository “A Glimpse of Another Russia”: Elisaveta Fen’s Chekhov translations Claire Warden Since the first British production of Anton Chekhov’s play The Seagull in 1909, audiences have found the Russian’s plays both beguiling and frustrating in seemingly equal measure. After living in Britain some years, Russian translator Elisaveta Fen began to recognize the problem: These plays are tragi-comedies: they are the stuff life is made of. They do not fit into any conventional category. Awkwardly presented, they can disappoint, baffle, irritate, or they can cast their spell over the spectator and make him feel 1 he is watching real people, living real lives—on the stage.0F Despite their ubiquity in twentieth- and twenty-first-century British theatre, Chekhov’s plays continue to bewilder audiences: they are tricky to define in terms of genre, and full of unpronounceable names and obscure references to places and cultures. Fen, the primary focus of this article, took up the unenviable challenge of making these plays more accessible to British audiences. Yet, she remains a marginal figure in British theatre historiographies; her name appears as ‘translator’ on numerous programmes and playbills but is rarely acknowledged further. This article claims Fen as an overlooked figure, recovering her work in order to place her within narratives of British theatre. In so doing it identifies her distinct semi-autobiographical, empathetic approach to the translation process. Her translations attempt to resolve a number of personal tensions—homesickness, her despair over the perceived destruction of her Russian idyll (and her frustration at British misunderstandings of this), and her concerns about fitting into British life.
