Rivers in Russian Literature focuses on the Russian
literary and folkloric treatment of five rivers—the Dnieper, Volga, Neva, Don, and Angara. Each
chapter traces, within a geographical and historical context, the evolution of the literary
representation of one river. Imagination may endow a river with aesthetic or spiritual
qualities; ethnic, national, or racial associations; or commercial or agricultural symbolism of many kinds. Russian literary responses to these five rivers have much to tell us about the  society that produced them as well as the rivers they treat.
