Heralded as the Messiah, condemned as the Antichrist, and lauded as the spirit of the Revolution, Napoleon invaded Russia at a critical period in its historical development, when ideas about nation and identity were beginning to take form in literature and public debate. Using traditional methods and tools of literary analysis, this book examines the figure of Napoleon in the context of uniquely Russian paradigms and myths. 520 8 It analyzes the motifs, images, and plots that underlie the ongoing process of the mythologization of Napoleon and demonstrates how the speaking terms in which Russians regaled this outsider, at various moments and in different contexts, expose strategies Russians used in common to fashion their own self-image and that of their nation."-- BOOK JACKET. 600 00 Napoleon|bI,|cEmperor of the French,|d1769-1821|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n79054933|xRelations with Russians. 600 00 Napoleon|bI,|cEmperor of the French,|d1769-1821|xIn literature.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85089765 600 04 Napoleon|bI,|cEmperor of the French,|d1769-1821 |xInfluence. 600 07 Napoleon|bI,|cEmperor of the French,|d1769-1821.|2fast |0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/35482 648 7 1801-1917|2fast 648 7 19th century|2fast 650 0 Russian literature|y19th century|xHistory and criticism. |0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85115990 650 0 Napoleonic Wars, 1800-1815|xCampaigns|zRussia.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85089775 650 7 Civilization.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/862898 650 7 Relations with Russians.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/1354307 650 7 Russian literature.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1102312 651 0 Russia|xCivilization|y1801-1917.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh85125715 651 0 Russia|xCivilization|xFrench influences.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh95000879 651 7 Russia.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1207312 830 0 Age of revolution and romanticism ;|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n90677484|vv. 29. 901 MARCIVE 20231220 935 593930 948 |d20140505|cMH|tcheck|lridm|v1 994 C0|bRID
