Deadline Extended: Call for Contributors, 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 (updated since last
posting):

*Alexander Pushkin*
*The Natural School and Russian Realism*

The editor also seeks contributors for chapters dealing with the broader
context and reception of Russian literature in the Golden Age. These three
chapters will address, respectively:

-*Comparison/contrast* (concerning the literary tradition of another region
or nation in comparison/contrast with that of Russia's Golden Age and/or
concerning the Golden Age in comparison/contrast with earlier or later
periods of Russian literature and artistic development)

-*Critical reception* (how has Russian literature of the Golden Age been
received in its time and beyond?)

-*Critical lens* (what are the major critical and theoretical constructs of
Russia's Golden Age and/or the 19th century more broadly?)

Final drafts of chapters of approximately 5,000 words will be due on or
around October 15th, 2013 (this deadline has some flexibility). Note that
the content of this volume is more introductory and canonical, due to its
projected readership, rather than concerned with new approaches or
perspectives.

*Contributors will be compensated.*

To be considered as a contributor, please send a short abstract (100-200
words) of a proposed chapter on one of the above topics and a brief CV via
e-mail by *September 13th, 2013* to Rachel Stauffer at rstauffer at ferrum.edu
 or rachelstauffer at gmail.com
