Bøker av Margaret Ziolkowski

Focuses on the Russian literary and folkloric treatment of five rivers - the Dnieper, Volga, Neva, Don, and Angara. Each chapter traces, within a geographical and historical context, the evolution of the literary representation of one river.

This study comprises an introduction, translation, and commentary to a 17th-century Russian account of the spiritual development and inspired resistance of a prominent female dissident.

Soviet epic compositions of the 1930s and 1940s, the so-called noviny ("new songs"), have often been the subject of folkloristic controversy. This study tells the story of the rise and fall of the noviny in all its cultural richness and pathos, an instructive tale of the interaction of aesthetics and ideology.
