Riassunto

This new edition of In Stalin&;s Time, which brings back into print Vera Dunham&;s 1976 landmark study of popular fiction in the Soviet Union during the Stalin regime, is updated to include new material by the author and a new introduction by Richard Sheldon. Dunham describes how the middle-brow or postwar establishmentarian literature of the Stalinist period was a product of a &;Big Deal&; intended to propagate values and establish an alliance between the regime and the middle class. Both descriptive and analytical, Dunham&;s complex picture of &;high totalitarianism&; not only reveals insights into the details of Soviet life but illuminates important theoretical questions about the role of literature in the political structure of Soviet society.
