Rewriting Capitalism

In this ground-breaking book, Beth Holmgren examines how--in turn-of-the-century Russia and its subject, the Kingdom of Poland--capitalism affected the elitist culture of literature, publishing, book markets, and readership. Rewriting Capitalism considers how both \u201cserious\u201d writers and producers of consumer culture coped with the drastic power shift from \u201cserious\u201d literature to market-driven literature.
