From the Idyll to the Novel Karamzin's Sentimental Prose

Karamzin was the foremost Russian representative of the late eighteenth-century Sentimentalist literature. In this study, Gitta Hammarberg makes use of recent advances in literary theory (particularly Bakhtin-school theory) in order to develop a new theory of Sentimentalist literature. She applies this to Karamzin's prose fiction, paying particular attention to the role of the author-reader.Hammarberg, Gitta is the author of 'From the Idyll to the Novel Karamzin's Sentimental Prose', published 2006 under ISBN 9780521025607 and ISBN 0521025605.
