Starting with the first Russian translation of The Origin of Species in 1864, educated Russians eagerly read Darwins works and reacted in a variety of ways. From enthusiasm to skepticism to hostility, these reactions manifested in a variety of published works, starting with the translations themselves, as well as critical reviews, opinion journalism, literary fiction, and polemical prose. The reception of Darwin spanned reverent, didactic, ironic, and sarcastic modes of interpretation. This book examines some of the best-known authors of the second half of the nineteenth century (Dostoevsky, Chernyshevsky, Chekhov) and others less well-known or nearly forgotten (Danilevsky, Timiriazev, Markevich, Strakhov) to explore the multi-faceted impact of Darwins ideas on Russian educated society. While elements of Darwins Russian reception were comparable to other countries, each author reveals distinctly Russian concerns tied to the meaning and consequences of the challenge posed by Darwinism. The scholars in this volume demonstrate not only what the authors wrote, but why they took their unique perspectives.</p>...1012090Reading Darwin in Imperial Russia18382042https://www.gandhi.com.mx/reading-darwin-in-imperial-russia/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/771984/7e029722-7df0-402d-9b77-01dd5dbfe312.jpg?v=638867403676500000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20239781666920857_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_<p><em>Reading Darwin in Imperial Russia: Literature and Ideas</em> expands upon the cataloging efforts of earlier scholarship on Darwins reception in Russia to analyze the rich cultural context and vital historical background of writings inspired by the arrival of Darwins ideas in Russia.
