Abstract:
When contextualized in relation to the period's publically circulated perceptions about the press, the book market, and the reading public, Alexander Pushkin's relatively understudied forays into professional journalism complicate our understanding both of the poet's strategies for navigating the contemporary cultural landscape and of the characteristics of the literary institutions themselves.
