Language and Education in Petrine Russia

Essays in Honour of Maria Cristina Bragone
  • Edited by:
  • Swetlana Mengel,
  • Laura Rossi,

With this book, twenty-four specialists on 17th and 18th-Century Russia from Italy, France, Germany, Poland, Russia, China, and the United States celebrate the sixty-fifth birthday of Maria Cristina Bragone, professor of Slavic philology and Russian literature at Pavia University. Their essays focus on her main topic of interest and research: Peter the Great’s era and the origins and consequences of his project to westernize the country. In particular, the articles touch on the evolution of the Russian language as seen in translations into Russian made by non-Russian authors; the genre of the abecedary and the Russian language learning from the mid-17th to the 18th century; cultural import; and the translation of classical and humanistic texts.

Swetlana Mengel is full professor of Slavic philology and linguistics at the Martin Luther University of Halle-Wittenberg (Germany). She is the author and editor of twenty books and of the series «SLAVICA VARIA HALENSIA» (with Angela Richter, LIT-Verlag, Münster–Hamburg–London); the author of more than 100 scientific articles published in Class A journals (Russian Linguistics, Voprosy jazykoznanija, Palaeobulgarica, Rivista Storica Italiana, Zeitschrift für Slawistik etc.); and entries in encyclopedias (Handbooks of Linguistics and Communication Science and others).

Laura Rossi is professor of Russian literature at the University of Milan. Her research activity, published in Italian, English and Russian, focuses on the period from the second half of the 18th to the middle of the 19th century seen as a continuum, with particular attention to the poetry and prose of Sentimentalist and Romantic authors (Michail Murav’ev, Nikolaj Karamzin, Konstantin Batjuškov, Aleksandr Pushkin); to the dynamics of cultural transfer, and to the interaction between figurative and poetic language.
