Recenzje

many a Russianist would find numerous rewarding insights in Russomania ... Beasley offers many more analytical examples that uncover routes of multidirectional cultural exchange in the modernist age. Her account of the British fascination with Russia, both positive and negative ... reveals important aspects of what "Russianness" meant in early twentieth-century Britain. In turn, this knowledge will likely be indispensable for understanding not only European modernism, but in addition, later developments in the British-Soviet cultural dialogue.
