Description and Table of Contents

Description

First published in 1968, this work is a detailed study of a journal written by the author during the 1920s. Maguire's work is also a comprehensive survey of Soviet literary culture in that critical period between the end of the Civil War and the onslaught of the Stalin revolution, a period when writers were still able to engage in public debate about the role of literature in the building of a revolutionary culture.
