Neither easy nor difficult to read. E-text prepared by David Starner, Karina Aleksandrova, and the Project Gutenberg Online Distributed Proofreading Team "A Survey of Russian Literature, with Selections" by Isabel Florence Hapgood is a scholarly collection that examines the development of Russian literature from its earliest origins to modern times, written in the early 20th century. The work provides insights into various periods of Russian literary history, including the influence of Christianity, the impact of major historical events, and the evolution of forms and genres within the context of Russian cultural identity. The book aims to present the thoughts of Russian critics on their literature while refraining from comparisons with foreign literatures. The opening of the text establishes a solid historical context, beginning with the ancient period of Russian literature and how Christianity was introduced through Prince Saint Vladímir. It discusses the significant role of religious texts and the works of early chroniclers like Nestor, who documented the history and customs of early Rus. Additionally, it highlights the rich oral traditions that existed prior to written literature, such as folk tales and epic songs, which laid the groundwork for later literary forms. This early section emphasizes the interconnectedness of literature, religion, and culture in shaping the identity of Russia throughout its history.
