Project description
This project aims to study the interwar Russian émigré historical novel, i.e. the phenomenon itself and its relation to other realizations of the Russian and European historical novel. The focus lies on what historical facts the émigré historical novel selects as a topic and how it represents and interprets those. The specific circumstances, exile, suggests a peculiar approach to history.
