The Silver Age Journal

[Eric Laursen]

        The second issue (1999) of The Silver Age is currently at press and should be on display at the AATSEEL national conference (check with the publisher, Charles Schlacks, as to the availability of the first issue (1998)); the table of contents for the new issue can be found below.  We are now accepting submissions for the third issue (2000).
        The Silver Age is an annual journal that publishes materials dealing with the visual arts, literature, music and philosophy of the Silver Age of Russian culture.  We especially appreciate materials dealing with the interplay of these artforms.  We publish articles, translations, bibliographies, and book reviews (send inquiry before submitting book reviews).  We are also interested in descriptions/reviews of current exhibits or revivals of Silver Age works.

Submissions to the Silver Age should conform to the Guidelines of the Chicago Manual of Style.  Please submit to :
