From the Idyll to the Novel : Karamzin's Sentimentalist Prose

Omtale

Karamzin was the foremost Russian representative of the late eighteenth-century Sentimentalist literature. In this study, Gitta Hammarberg makes use of advances in literary theory (particularly Bakhtin-school theory) in order to develop a theory of Sentimentalist literature. She applies this to Karamzin's prose fiction, paying particular attention to the role of the author-reader.
