Book Synopsis Fiction and Society in the Age of Pushkin by : William Mills Todd
Book excerpt: Todd describes the ideology of the educated westernized gentry, then charts the possibilities for literary life: first patronage, the salons, popular literature; then rapid emergence of an incipient literary profession. He explores the interactions of literature and society as writers "discovered" their own milieu and were discovered by it.
