Twentieth-Century Russian Poetry
The canon of Russian poetry has been reshaped since the fall of the Soviet Union. A multi-authored study of changing cultural memory and identity, this revisionary work charts Russia’s shifting relationship to its own literature in the face of social upheaval. Literary canon and national identity are inextricably tied together, the composition of a canon being the attempt to single out those literary works that best express a nation’s culture. This process is, of course, fluid and subject to significant shifts, particularly at times of epochal change. This volume explores changes in the canon of twentieth-century Russian poetry from the 1991 collapse of the Soviet Union to the end of Put...
No More Than Bones (DS Pete Gayle thrillers, Book 13)
Exeter-based DS Pete Gayle is already busy with a child-snatching case when a call comes into CID that a body has been found in Exwick cemetery. And this burial, in a shallow grave among the trees bordering the graveyard, is not an official one. With nothing but the skeletal remains to go on, Pete must find out who the dead man is, how he got there and, most importantly – who put him there?
The University of Kentucky
The University of Kentucky during its first century has had a colorful and paradoxical history -- a history which reflects the character of the society that forms its milieu. This second volume deals with the University's growth through the administration of three of its presidents -- Henry Stites Barker, Frank L. McVey, and Herman L. Donovan. When Judge Barker assumed office, the institution had been a university in name for only three years; at the close of President Donovan's administration it had become a true university in spirit and in fact. Mr. Talbert here traces the complex developments from 1911 to 1956 that were bringing maturity: he outlines the events of more recent times as the University enters its second century.

The New Russian Book
This book takes up the obtrusive problem of visual representation of fiction in contemporary Russian book design. By analyzing a broad variety of book covers, the study offers an absolutely unique material that illustrates a radically changing notion of literature in the transformation of Soviet print culture to a post-Soviet book market. It delivers a profound and critical exploration of Russian visual imaginary of classic, popular, and contemporary prose. Among all the carelessly bungled covers of mass-published post-Soviet series the study identifies gems from experimental designers. By taking a comparative approach to the clash of two formerly separate book cultures, the Western and the Soviet, that results both in a mixture of highbrow and lowbrow forms and in ideological re-interpretations of the literary works, this book contributes to opening an East-West dialogue between the fields of Russian studies, contemporary book and media history, art, design, and visual studies.
