Collective Memory and War&Peace

[colkitto@rogers.com]

Lermontov's poem 'Borodino', set to music also, and in the form of a
veteran telling a younger relative what the battle was like (moaning about
how the youth of the day had gone downhill by comparison to the glory days
of his youth) might be a good place to start.

Subject: [SEELANGS] Collective Memory and War&Peace


Hi all, 

I'm interested in researching and writing about the role of the War of 1812
in Russian collective memory and specifically War&Peace as an attempt by
Tolstoy to work though and reinterpret this past. I'm having trouble finding
sources to help me develop this idea. If anyone has any suggestions or can
point me in the right direction, it would be most appreciated.

Thank you in advance,
Kathleen.
