SUMMARY

"Melodrama bore all the defects and virtues of its parent, the French Revolution. Given to wild flights, neck-breaking twists and turns, stark judgements of good and evil, the genre also brought public attention onto private life and the vicissitudes of underprivilege. Melodrama taught much to the Russians who appropriated it. As the contributors to the present volume demonstrate, it taught them how to see, to understand and even how to accomplish history. An imitator surely, but also a creator of life-we can all be grateful to Neuberger and McReynolds for bringing this to our attention."-James von Geldern, Macalaster CollegeMcReynolds, Louise is the author of 'Imitations of Life Two Centuries of Melodrama in Russia' with ISBN 9780822327905 and ISBN 0822327902.
