This study focuses on the legend of Kitezh and its varied incarnations in Russian literature. The legend, which describes an ideal city that disappeared during a time of war, rose from obscurity to wide recognition in less than a century. It then appeared in the works of many leading Russian writers of the twentieth century. This dissertation studies the way three groups of writers appropriated the legend, using Kitezh as a touchstone that allows for a deeper and more nuanced understanding of their philosophical and artistic purposes.

520 $a This study focuses on the legend of Kitezh and its varied incarnations in Russian literature. The legend, which describes an ideal city that disappeared during a time of war, rose from obscurity to wide recognition in less than a century. It then appeared in the works of many leading Russian writers of the twentieth century. This dissertation studies the way three groups of writers appropriated the legend, using Kitezh as a touchstone that allows for a deeper and more nuanced understanding of their philosophical and artistic purposes.
520 $a The introductory chapter surveys existing research and sets out a semiotic framework for understanding the legend both in world culture and in the Russian context in which it developed, where Old Believers conceived the legend as an escape to a pre-Petrine Russia. It also discusses the legend as a piece of folklore and highlights the changes that occur when a legend enters mainstream literature. The next three chapters examine three incarnations of the legend at transitional points in its development. Chapter 2 focuses on how writers of the nineteenth century, in particular Pavel Melnikov (pseudonym Andrei Pechersky), first brought Old Believers to the Russian press and used the legend to illustrate the escapist worldview of people they considered ignorant religious fanatics. Chapter 3 examines how the Symbolists Zinaida Gippius and Dmitry Merezhkovsky transformed the dominant interpretation of the Kitezh legend at the turn of the century. Frustrated with institutional Church and State institutions, the Symbolists sought alternatives in the practices of religious dissenters, and made the dissenters' ideal city---Kitezh---an apocalyptic symbol of the future they idealized for Russia. Chapter 4 covers the post-Revolutionary years, when writers again reinterpreted Kitezh, this time as a symbol of the idealized past that had been lost after the Revolution. Writers with a particularly "exilic" mentality, such as emigre writers (Bunin and others), or people who saw themselves as "cultural exiles," such as Anna Akhmatova, used Kitezh as an identity marker, drawing a distinction between themselves and the Soviet culture around them. The conclusion surveys the appearance of Kitezh in post-Soviet culture.
