His choice of Nikolay... «Modern Criticism and Theory: A Reader»
innashpitzberg9 сентября 2012His choice of Nikolay Semyonovich Leskov ( 1831-95) to exemplify the art its best is also a form of self-exploration as there is much that is similar in the temperaments of both writers. As did Benjamin, Leskov rejected religious mysticism, in his case that of the Orthodox church, together with its extreme sacramentalism. A satirist of the clergy as well as of Nihilistic radicalism, he was an exile from most communities and interest groups.
