Abstract:
While the pogroms of 1881-82 had a greater effect on Jewish thinking and self-consciousness, the 1905 pogroms were more widely mirrored in literature. The Silver Age of Russian literature, which brought elements of symbolism, expressionism, and naturalism to prose writing, provided better stylistic strategies to depict the horror than did the realist literature of the previous generation. Discusses the new ways that were found by Russian Jewish writers S. An-skii, David Aizman, Aleksandr Kipen, and Semyon Yushkevich to express the incomprehensible.
Note:
On works by Yaroshevskii, An-sky, Kipen, Aizman and Yushkevich.
