In this new book, Ira Nadel, charts the story of that influence through the work of some of the key figures in British literature across the century, including Joseph Conrad, Somerset Maugham, Jane Harrison, Virginia Woolf, and H.G. Wells. Framed by the story of two romantic encounters, between Walter Benjamin and the actress Asja Lacis in Moscow in 1926 and between Isaiah Berlin and Anna Akhmatova in 1945, \u003ci\u003eLove and Russian Literature \u003c\/i\u003ecasts a vivid new light on the ways in which responses to Russia shaped the history of British modernism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIra Nadel\u003c\/b\u003e is UBC Distinguished University Scholar at the University of British Columbia, Canada.
