It examines metaphors for revolution in the storm, flood, and harvest imagery ubiquitous in Russian literary works. At the same time, it takes account of the struggle to own the narrative of modernity, including Bolshevik weaponization of language, and cultural policy that supported the use of terror and social purging. This uniquely cross-disciplinary study makes a close reading of texts which use storm, flood, and agricultural metaphors in diverse ways to represent revolution, whether in anticipation and celebration of its ideals, or resistance to the same. A spotlight is given to the lives and works of authors who respond to Soviet authoritarianism by reclaiming the narrative of revolution i\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 1: Origin Stories of the Russian Revolution\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 2: Roots of the Russian Intelligentsia\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 3: The Intelligentsia and the People\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 4: An Incomparable Age\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 5: Bolshevik Weaponization of Language and Culture\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 6: The Lives of ‘Former People’: White Guard\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 7: Fruits of Revolution: Three Soviet Novels\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 8: A Defense of the Personal: Doctor Zhivago\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lexington Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51040875872599,"sku":"9781498597982","price":85.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781498597982.jpg?v=1750948150","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/language-and-metaphors-of-the-russian-revolution-9781498597982","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
