Epic and the Russian Novel from Gogol to Pasternak - Griffiths, Frederick T. a Rabinowitz, Stanley J.

The authors read some of the classics in the Russian novelistic tradition against a critique of the Lukacs-Bakhtin view of epic, all the while demonstrating the modernity of epic as a literary mode and arguing how some key Russian novels challenge or outgrow their generic form to re-imagine or re-invent a new, monumental one.
