This collection of essays on Turgenev, Goncharov, Conrad, Dostoevsky, Blok, Briusov, Gor’kii, Pasternak and Nabokov represents diverse voices but is also unified. Recurring themes in Masing-Delic’s (Ph.D. from the University of Stockholm) work include the distinction between “culture” and “civilization” with Russia as the bearer of culture because it is “barbaric.” Another deals with the synthesis of “sense and sensibility” and the vision of “Apollo” and “Dionysus” creating a “civilized culture” together.
