"An entirely new and highly productive approach to the study of Symbolist mythologies."
—Catherine Ciepiela, author of The Same Solitude: Boris Pasternak and Marina Tsvetaeva
Though the Russian Symbolist movement was dominated by a concern with transcending sex, many of the writers associated with the movement exhibited an intense preoccupation with matters of the flesh. Drawing on poetry, plays, short stories, essays, memoirs, and letters, as well as feminist and psychoanalytic theory, Beyond the Flesh documents the often unexpected form that this obsession with gender and the body took in the life and art of two of the most important Russian Symbolists.
Jenifer Presto argues that the difficulties encountered in reading Alexander Blok and Zinaida Gippius within either a feminist or a traditional, binary gendered framework derive not only from the peculiarities of their creative personalities but also from the specific Russian cultural context. Although these two poets engaged in gendered practices that, at times, appeared to be highly idiosyncratic and even incited gossip among their contemporaries, they were not operating in a vacuum. Instead, they were responding to philosophical concepts that were central to Russian Symbolism and that would continue to shape modernism in Russia.
"A sophisticated, elegant, and substantial study of two central figures in the Russian Symbolist movement. The intellectual sparkle of the book is matched by its very thorough scholarly underpinning."—Sibelan Forrester, Swarthmore College
