INCREDIBLY INTERDISCPLINARY: Svetlikova’s scholarship here is almost sui generis; it encompasses such far-flung areas as Russian literature, the history of mathematics, and various strands of early 20th century philosophy.CONTROVERSIAL: Anti-Semitism in Russian history is a very touchy subject in some quarters.KEY WORK: One of the centerpieces of Svetlikova’s book is her analysis of Petersburg, which is agreed to be one of the masterpieces of Russian literature.

Beschreibung

In Russia at the turn of the twentieth century, mysticism, anti-Semitism, and mathematical theory fused into a distinctive intellectual movement. Through analyses of such seemingly disparate subjects as Moscow mathematical circles and the 1913 novel Petersburg, this book illuminates a forgotten aspect of Russian cultural and intellectual history.
