Celebrating Creativity

essays in honour of Jostein Børtnes

Edited by Knut Andreas Grimstad & Ingunn Lunde

Editorial advisor: Ursula Phillips

Celebrating Creativity brings together in a single volume 27 original essays covering Russian literature and related disciplines, such as Russian and Slavonic culture and history. With a clear emphasis on Dostoevskii, the majority of articles explore various writers and literary periods, ranging from the medieval to the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. A smaller number of essays are devoted to historiography, semiotics, and the philosophy of language.
Celebrating Creativity provides a stimulating variety of perspectives on important topics in Russian and Slavonic studies today.
 

 The Festschrift was formally presented on April 16, 1997.

It has been reviewed in SEER (Arnold McMillin, 1998, 1), SEEJ (Priscilla Meyer, 1998, 3), Europe-Asia Studies (Andrei Rogatchevski, 1998, 50 (5)),  Slavonica (Gareth Jones, 1999, 1), and NLO (S Zhozhikashvili, 1999, 36).
