{"product_id":"tragic-encounters-maksim-hanukai-9780299341404","title":"Tragic Encounters: Pushkin and European Romanticism","description":"Literary scholars largely agree that the Romantic period altered the definition of tragedy, but they have confined their analyses to Western European authors. Maksim Hanukai introduces a new, illuminating figure to this narrative, arguing that Russia's national poet, Alexander Pushkin, can be understood as a tragic Romantic poet, although in a different mold than his Western counterparts. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Many of Pushkin's works move seamlessly between the closed world of traditional tragedy and the open world of Romantic tragic drama, and yet they follow neither the cathartic program prescribed by Aristotle nor the redemptive mythologies of the Romantics. Instead, the idiosyncratic and artistically mercurial Pushkin seized upon the newly unstable tragic mode to develop multiple, overlapping tragic visions. Providing new, innovative readings of such masterpieces as \u003ci\u003eThe Gypsies, Boris Godunov, The Little Tragedies\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eThe Bronze Horseman\u003c\/i\u003e, Hanukai sheds light on an unexplored aspect of Pushkin's work, while also challenging reigning theories about the fate of tragedy in the Romantic period.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Maksim Hanukai\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0299341402\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780299341404\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Wisconsin Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/16\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.06h x 6.06w x 0.79d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2024","brand":"Maksim Hanukai","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44133081121023,"sku":"9780299341404","price":89.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_dc6af1ad-4856-4c49-9158-da99fc25816f.jpg?v=1687483972","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/tragic-encounters-maksim-hanukai-9780299341404","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
