“Collecting what is beautiful . . . in the living Russian literature,” Stephen Graham assembled the Constable’s Russian Library. Graham’s collection captures the literary spirit of the age in Russia at the turn of the century. These stories, poetry, memoir, and other narratives open up the spiritual, intellectual, and physical struggles of Russian consciousness in the midst of war, famine, and revolution.
The grand narratives of Brothers Karamazov and Anna Karenina were the exception in nineteenth- and twentieth-century Russian literature. The short story carried all the import the novel did in Western Europe. Several authors mastered this form which saturated Russian society, high and low. Graham captures the best of Kuprin’s realism, Sologub’s fantasy, and Brussof’s emotion. Graham wrote that “these specimen volumes of Russian stories which I have edited from Sologub, Kuprin, and Brussof may be helpful in our own literary world as affording new conceptions, new models, and showing new possibilities of literary form.”
Also included are journalist Vlas Doroshevitch’s impactful account of Russian suffering in World War I, The Way of the Cross, and the extended prose work of Fyodor Dostoevsky’s daughter, Lyubov, The Emigrant.
