Reminder: Call for Contributors, Critical Insights, Russia's Golden Age

[Rachel Stauffer]

Critical Insights is a multi-volume series that offers original
introductory criticism on key authors, works, and themes in literature that
are addressed in core reading lists at the undergraduate level. The quality
of scholarship and the level of analysis for this series are designed to
provide the best and most well-rounded overviews of the authors, works, and
themes covered. Each volume is peer edited by a scholar in the field. The
result is a collection of authoritative, in-depth scholarship suitable for
students and teachers alike. All chapters are written as original material
and include an MLA-styled “Works Cited” section and bibliography.
Previously published by Salem Press, the series is now being overseen by Grey
House Publishing <http://www.greyhouse.com/>.

The editor of a new Critical Insights volume on Russia's Golden Age seeks
contributors to write one of the following topics (this list has been
updated since the earlier e-mail announcement on SEELANGS):

Romanticism, Poetry, and the Superfluous Man
Alexander Pushkin
The Natural School and Russian Realism
Lev Tolstoy
19th Century Women Authors
Music, Art, and Theater
Anton Chekhov

Final drafts of chapters of approximately 5,000 words will be due on or
around October 15th, 2013. Note that the content of this volume is more
introductory and canonical, rather than concerned with new approaches or
perspectives.

The editor is also seeking authors for 3 introductory critical context
chapters of 5,000 words each. These chapters are broader in their scope,
and address, respectively, a chapter devoted to comparison and contrast
(pertaining to Russia's Golden Age either in comparison and contrast with
other periods of Russian literature or with other periods of literature in
other regions of the world); a critical reception chapter and a critical
lens chapter. The latter two chapters offer the opportunity to discuss
theoretical and political issues relevant to Russian literature in this
period.

To be considered as a contributor, please send a short abstract of a
proposed chapter on one of the above topics and a brief CV via e-mail
by *September
4th, 2013* to Rachel Stauffer at rstauffer at ferrum.edu or
