Includes bibliographical references

This dissertation concentrates almost exclusively on Evgenij Zamjatin's (1884-1937) early Soviet period with special emphasis on his novel We (1920-1921). While We has been approached from a variety of points of view, neither the singular nature of We as a literary phenomenon of specifically Russian culture, both pre and post revolutionary, nor the complexity of Zamjatin's own attitudes toward the role that writing plays in society have received detailed scrutiny. The aim here is to read We as a literry text which is inextricably tied to other texts (both literary and non-literary) and which comments on and gives expression to the culture from which it emanates. Zamjatin's own view of literature was firmly bound to a developed paradigm of the mechanisms according to which societies operate and change. The novel is examined in the context of Western and Soviet structuralist and semiotic theories of culture, an approach particularly fitting given the fact that the same positivistic outlook which generated structuralism also exerted its influence on Zamjatin. The novel is further viewed in the context of Soviet and Western literary criticism. An emphasis on the novel as a product of its cultural traditions permits a focusing on its message at the time of its writing as opposed to what it was later interpreted to be. It also points to the allusive nature of the novel and extends the boundaries of interpretation to include Russia's past, especially its anti-utopian tradition as it was manifested in the Petersburg theme. The city of the One State is in fact superimposed on Petersburg. Such an approach points as well to the double coded, satirical nature of the novel which on one level represents a society in the future and on another very specifically the Russian society, its past and present boldly seized and logically hurled into the future. In the latter part of the dissertation more emphasis is placed on the writer himself. Here We is placed in the context of Zamjatin's own writing, in particular his views on literature and genre theory, on the science fiction writings of H. G. Wells and on the role of contemporary scientific thought in Zamjatin's world view.
