Bulgakov

First published in 1996. In his native Russia, Mikhail Bulgakov (1891-1940) is one of the writers whose works are most frequently read and whose plays are most frequently staged. Since his publication of his works from 1960s onwards, he has emerged as a major European author. This collection contains twenty-one articles by scholars from eight different Britain, Canada, Czech Republic, France, India, Russia, Ukraine and the USA. In a diverse range of contributions, the authors discuss Bulgakov against the literary and theatrical background of his own time and in the context of today’s polycentric, multicultural world.
