Description

Russian Nights by Vladimir Fedorovich Odoevsky is a seminal work in Russian intellectual history. This novel synthesises Odoevsky's diverse interests, encompassing Gothic literature, romanticism, mysticism, the occult, social responsibility, Westernisation, utopia and anti-utopia. The book defies genre classification, instead blending elements of romance and society tales with philosophical musings on the major strands of Russian thought during the 1820s and 1830s. Comparable to works such as The Decameron and Hoffman's Serapion Brethren, Russian Nights presents a unique blend of styles, framed by Odoevsky's distinctive voice. As a key sourcebook for understanding Russian romanticism and social aesthetic thought of its time, Russian Nights remains an essential work in the field, offering insights into the intellectual currents that shaped 19th-century Russia.
