Reviews

Angela Brintlinger, Department of Slavic and East European Languages and Cultures, The Ohio State University:

"Pushkin’s Monument and Allusion encourages the reader to think about the multi-dimensional relationship – text, statue, performance – between allusion and space."

Alexandra Smith, Department of European Languages and Cultures, The University of Edinburgh:

"Pushkin’s Monument and Allusion is meticulously researched, well focused, and thought provoking."

Emily Johnson, Department of Modern Languages, Literatures, and Linguistics, University of Oklahoma:

"This book makes a superb addition to literature both on Pushkin as a mythic figure in Russian culture and also on Moscow as a city."
