《俄罗斯狂热：俄罗斯文化与英国现代主义的形成》为现代主义文学在英国的出现提供了一个新的视角。在二十世纪早期，英国作家在传播俄罗斯文学和文化方面发挥了核心作用，他们的写作也因这次相遇而发生了变化。本研究通过分析传播和接受网络，还原了那一刻的厚重历史，以恢复被忽视的和典型的人物，以及机构和个人的作用。对英国现代主义的主流描述是亲法谱系，但世纪之交关于英国写作未来的辩论是一场三角辩论，不仅是法国和英国模式之间的辩论，也是法国、英国和俄罗斯模式之间的辩论。亲法的现代主义者将俄罗斯文学，尤其是托尔斯泰的小说，与不加批判地沉浸在“生活”中而牺牲了对风格的掌握联系在一起，尽管个别作品可能受到赞赏，但俄罗斯文学作为一个整体，被认为是英国文学的危险典范。这种所谓的危险与那个时期的政治密切相关，这本书调查了俄罗斯文化是如何在作家、编辑和政治家之间的密切关系中被部署的，这些作家、编辑和政治家构成了20世纪早期的知识分子阶级——英国知识分子。Russomania认为，俄罗斯文化最重要的影响不在于经典作家之间的风格借鉴，而在于对当时主要知识问题的塑造：语言与行动、作家与观众、艺术作品与生活经验之间的关系。由此产生的叙述将早期现代主义的模糊谱系带到了前台，主角的不同安排，不同的批判价值观，与维多利亚时代过去的现实主义实验，以及20世纪30年代和40年代未来的反形式主义和复兴的浪漫主义有更强的联系。
Russomania: Russian Culture and the Creation of British Modernism provides a new account of modernist literature's emergence in Britain. British writers played a central role in the dissemination of Russian literature and culture during the early twentieth century, and their writing was transformed by the encounter. This study restores the thick history of that moment, by analyzing networks of dissemination and reception to recover the role of neglected as well as canonical figures, and institutions as well as individuals. The dominant account of British modernism privileges a Francophile genealogy, but the turn-of-the century debate about the future of British writing was a triangular debate, a debate not only between French and English models, but between French, English, and Russian models. Francophile modernists associated Russian literature, especially the Tolstoyan novel, with an uncritical immersion in'life'at the expense of a mastery of style, and while individual works might be admired, Russian literature as a whole was represented as a dangerous model for British writing. This supposed danger was closely bound up with the politics of the period, and this book investigates how Russian culture was deployed in the close relationships between writers, editors, and politicians who made up the early twentieth-century intellectual class--the British intelligentsia. Russomania argues that the most significant impact of Russian culture is not to be found in stylistic borrowings between canonical authors, but in the shaping of the major intellectual questions of the period: the relation between language and action, writer and audience, and the work of art and lived experience. The resulting account brings an occluded genealogy of early modernism to the fore, with a different arrangement of protagonists, different critical values, and stronger lines of connection to the realist experiments of the Victorian past, and the anti-formalism and revived romanticism of the 1930s and 1940s future.
