Double-weighted statement
This 101,000-word monograph represents a decade of research (2003-12), including archival work in Moscow and St Petersburg. Its approach to Soviet literature between 1917 and 1941 is interdisciplinary, introducing concepts from comparative literature (particularly the Gothic-fantastic) and genre theory to traditional Slavic Studies. It offers close readings of over a dozen primarily Socialist Realist texts from several genres, including both well-known and obscure works.
