The works he produced on the theme are three of his greatest masterpieces: the prose novella \u003ci\u003eThe Queen of Spades\u003c\/i\u003e, the narrative poem \u003ci\u003eThe Bronze Horseman\u003c\/i\u003e, and the lyric \"God Grant That I Not Lose My Mind.\" Gary Rosenshield presents a new interpretation of Pushkin's genius through an examination of his various representations of madness.\u003cbr\u003e Pushkin brilliantly explored both the destructive and creative sides of madness, a strange fusion of violence and insight. In this study, Rosenshield illustrates the surprising valorization of madness in \u003ci\u003eThe Queen of Spades\u003c\/i\u003e and \"God Grant That I Not Lose My Mind\" and analyzes \u003ci\u003eThe Bronze Horseman\u003c\/i\u003e's confrontation with the legacy of Peter the Great, a cornerstone figure of Russian history. Drawing on themes of madness in western literature, Rosenshield situates Pushkin in a greater framework with such luminaries as Shakespeare, Sophocles, Cervantes, and Dostoevsky providing an insightful and absorbing study of Russia's greatest writer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-3131465\"\u003eGary Rosenshield\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Wisconsin Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/05\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.82lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.32h x 6.04w x 0.63d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780299182045\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0299182045\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-LIT\"\u003eLiterary Criticism\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-LIT004240\"\u003eRussian \u0026amp; Soviet\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGary Rosenshield is professor of Slavic languages and literature at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and the author of \u003ci\u003eCrime and Punishment: The Techniques of the Omniscient Author\u003c\/i\u003e and numerous scholarly articles on Slavic studies.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Wisconsin Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44686440136941,"sku":"9780299182045","price":39.93,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/products\/img_93648f9c-38a3-472b-8ebe-237ba1ac94ef.jpg?v=1703643066","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/es\/products\/pushkin-and-the-genres-of-madness-the-masterpieces-of-1833-9780299182045","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
