Description
A Nation Astray: Nomadism and National Identity in Russian Literature explores the complex relationship between mobility and national identity in 19th-century Russia. Through a close analysis of literary works by key writers, Ingrid Anne Kleespies reveals how the image of the nomad became a central aspect of Russian self-determination. This interdisciplinary study sheds light on the historical and philosophical underpinnings of the nomadic constitution of the Russian nation, appealing to students of Russian Romanticism, nationhood, and identity. By examining the debates and discussions surrounding literary works by Karamzin, Pushkin, Chaadaev, Goncharov, and Dostoevsky, Kleespies illuminates a fundamental aspect of Russian national identity. The result is a nuanced understanding of how the concept of the nomad influenced the development of Russian national identity, making this book an essential resource for anyone interested in Russian literature and its historical context.
