| book description |

The iconic masks of the Italian commedia dellâ€™arteâ€”Harlequin, Pierrot, Colombina, Pulcinella, and othersâ€”have been vagabonding the roads of Russian cultural history for more than three centuries. This book explores how these masks, and the artistic principles of the commedia dellâ€™arte that they embody, have profoundly affected the Russian artistic imagination, providing a source of inspiration for leading Russian artists as diverse as nineteenth-century writer Nikolai Gogol, modernist theater director Evgenii Vakhtangov, Vladimir Nabokov, and the empress of Russian popular culture Alla Pugacheva. The author presents a new perspective on this topic, showing how the commedia dellâ€™arte has nourished a rich cultural tradition in Russia.
