This book reassesses the role of Russian Montparnasse writers in the articulation of transnational modernism generated by exile. Examining their production from a comparative perspective, it demonstrates that their response to urban modernity transcended the Russian master narrative and resonated with broader aesthetic trends in interwar Europe.
This monograph explores the transnational Modernism practiced by the younger generation, sometimes dubbed the ‘unnoticed generation,’ of Russian emigre writers in interwar Paris. … Scholars of comparative literature or the French and Anglo-American literature of the interwar period will benefit from this work as much as will Russian literature specialists. Nabokov scholars will also find considerable comparative context and discussion of some of the literary debates ongoing in the emigre journals.” (Luke Franklin, Slavic and East European Journal, Vol. 60 (2), 2016)
