The Grushnikov Collection at the Library of Congress

摘要

A carefully assembled collection of more than 6,000 Soviet-era children's books awaits scholars' attention at the Library of Congress. Focusing on the work of Soviet illustrators from the mid-1920s into the 1990s, the Grushnikov Collection also represents the majority of children's authors of the Soviet period. Primarily in Russian, the collection features, as well, childrens' and folk literature translated into Russian and from Russian into European and Asian languages. The books come in a variety of formats and are accompanied by puzzle blocks and art reference books. The collection is a rich source of cultural, political, and publishing history waiting to be mined.View full textDownload full textKeywordsOleg Pavlovich Grushnikov, Russian children's books, children's literature, book illustration, Soviet Union, Soviet art, Soviet society, Soviet publishing, Library of CongressRelated var addthis_config = { ui_cobrand: "Taylor & Francis Online", services_compact: "citeulike,netvibes,twitter,technorati,delicious,linkedin,facebook,stumbleupon,digg,google,more", pubid: "ra-4dff56cd6bb1830b" }; Add to shortlist Link Permalink http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/15228886.2010.483723
