Imported to Russia by Aleksandr Sumarokov around 1750, tragedy reenacted and shaped the symbolic economy and the often disturbing historical experience of \"absolutist\" autocracy. Addressing half-forgotten texts and events, this study engages with literary and cultural theory from Walter Benjamin to Foucault and \"new historicism\" in order to contribute to a broader discussion of early modern \"poetics of culture.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47920655532190,"sku":"ING-9781618114723","price":106.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781618114723.jpg?v=1782827110","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781618114723","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
