tHERE IS AN ENGLISH TRANSLATION OF THE PROTOCOLS OF THE FIRST CONGRESS THAT
HAS CHUKOVSKYH'S AND MARSHAK'S SPEECHES. I DON'T REMEMER THE TITLE, BUT IT'S
PROBABLY SOMETHING WITH FWC IN TITLE. GOOD LUCK.
Dear all,
apologies for what may be an impossible query...
I was wondering if Samuil Marshak's speech on childrens' literature from
the First Writers' Congress has been translated into English? (I would
like to use it in a class, but before I think of translating it myself, I
am searching...)
Also, can you suggest a good essay or other treatment of the Congress
itself (one which explains, ideally, what has been happening at the
congress, historically)? What I have found so far - the main or "canonic"
works on socialist realism - are useful, but do not quite allow one to
explicate the event in class setting...
So many thanks.
Sincerely yours,
Simon Krysl
