Book Synopsis
Illuminates the key role of Symbolism as the earliest form of modernism in Russia. Combining book history, periodical studies, and reception theory, Jonathan Stone examines the poetry and theory of Russian Symbolism within the framework of the institutions that organised, published, and disseminated the works to Russian readers.

Trade Review
"Deftly tracking his metamorphosis from poet-translator, to poet-imitator, to editor and, ultimately, to publisher (ever aided by a cast of imaginary pseudonymous assistants
and backers), Stone firmly conveys Bryusov’s sheer guts and guile. [...] The Institutions of Russian Modernism lays bare the processes by which Symbolism rooted itself in Russia, making it both a valuable contribution and a useful template for understanding the pure dynamics of artistic movements." — TLS
