Discussing key figures of the period, including Nikolai Evreinov, Konstantin Stanislavsky, Vsevolod Meyerhold, and Alexander Tairov, Lin identifies an underappreciated dimension of humanism within Russian modernism: a humanism that resisted the pressures of an increasingly technologized, industrialized, and politicized modernity that challenged the place of the human within it. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alisa Ballard Lin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0810148447\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780810148444\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Northwestern University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/15\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Alisa Ballard Lin","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46618108068095,"sku":"9780810148444","price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_16fd25bb-ee0e-4d8d-83fe-a878468eb92e.jpg?v=1740069188","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/theatrical-consciousness-alisa-ballard-lin-9780810148444","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
