Boris Godunov: Transposition of a Russian Theme

Angebote / Angebote:

The tale of Boris Godunov -- tsar, usurper, tsarecide -- dating from theearly seventeenth-century Time of Troubles, inspired three major nineteenth-centuryRussian cultural expressions: in history by Nikolai Karamzin, in drama by AlexanderPushkin, and in opera by Modest Musorgsky. Each of these famous creations was avehicle for generic innovation, in which a specifically Russian concept of genre wasasserted in opposition to the reigning European models: German historiography, French melodrama, and Italian opera. Within a Bakhtinian framework, Caryl Emersonexplores these three versions of the Boris Tale, the context of their genesis, andtheir complex interrelationships.
