The works he produced on the theme are three of his greatest masterpieces: the prose novella \u003ci\u003eThe Queen of Spades\u003c\/i\u003e, the narrative poem \u003ci\u003eThe Bronze Horseman\u003c\/i\u003e, and the lyric \"God Grant That I Not Lose My Mind.\" Gary Rosenshield presents a new interpretation of Pushkin's genius through an examination of his various representations of madness.\u003cbr\u003e Pushkin brilliantly explored both the destructive and creative sides of madness, a strange fusion of violence and insight. In this study, Rosenshield illustrates the surprising valorization of madness in \u003ci\u003eThe Queen of Spades\u003c\/i\u003e and \"God Grant That I Not Lose My Mind\" and analyzes \u003ci\u003eThe Bronze Horseman\u003c\/i\u003e's confrontation with the legacy of Peter the Great, a cornerstone figure of Russian history. Drawing on themes of madness in western literature, Rosenshield situates Pushkin in a greater framework with such luminaries as Shakespeare, Sophocles, Cervantes, and Dostoevsky providing an insightful and absorbing study of Russia's greatest writer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Wolfe\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0879727292\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780879727291\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Popular Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/05\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 228\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.33h x 6.24w x 0.90d","brand":"Peter Wolfe","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44761049563391,"sku":"9780879727291","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f7b2e220-00cf-4397-83d9-37ae7e8ccffd.jpg?v=1706680231","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/in-the-zone-peter-wolfe-9780879727291","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
