About this Event<\/h3>\n

The authors will be in conversation with Prof. Jeremy Hicks (QMUL)<\/p>\n

Gillespie and Korneeva will situate Katiia Izmailova <\/em>within the broader history of film adaptations of Russian literature set out in their recently published book. Through the example of Katiia Izmailova<\/em>, Gillespie and Korneeva will also discuss the current situation and future prospects for film adaptations of Russian literature, following Russia\u2019s 2022 invasion of Ukraine and the relation of the film to the role of literature in post-Soviet Russia.<\/p>\n

The 1994 film Katia Izmailova <\/em>(also known as Evenings Around Moscow<\/em>) is an adaptation and updating of Nikolai Leskov\u2019s 1865 novella Lady MacBeth of Mtsensk. <\/em>The novella shows the descent into murder and suicide of Katerina Izmailova, the wife of a landowner as the catastrophic consequences of her passionate affair with the steward of the estate. A crucial point for discussion will be the enduring relevance and significance of Leskov\u2019s original motif: young wife, older husband with property, young lover. This motif contextualizes the broader issue: the social position of women, not only in 19th<\/sup> century Russia, but also in other countries, as developed in their cinematic cultures. Thus, this premise has been the subject of several international films, including the Italian neo-realist Ossessione<\/em>, two versions of the Hollywood noir The Postman Always Rings Twice, <\/em>and the film debut of the Coen Brothers, Blood Simple. <\/em>More substantially, William Oldroyd\u2019s 2016 Lady Macbeth <\/em>(UK) provides much material to expand Leskov\u2019s narrative and interrogate themes of sexuality, class and race in Victorian (and by analogy modern) Britain.\u00a0 The authors will discuss how Leskov\u2019s work resonates with subsequent cinematic (re)readings, as well with Shakespeare\u2019s Macbeth, <\/em>and the play\u2019s adaptations from Hollywood to Japan to Roman Polanski, and back again.<\/p>\n

About the speakers:<\/h3>\n

Professor David Gillespie <\/strong>and Dr Marina Korneeva <\/strong>have published jointly on Russian language and Russian culture, including editorship of the fourth edition of Terence Wade\u2019s A Comprehensive Russian Grammar<\/em>, published by Wiley-Blackwell in 2020, and the forthcoming A History of Russian Literature on Film, <\/em>to be published by Bloomsbury Academic in early 2024. Professor Gillespie taught at the University of Bath from 1985 to 2016, and Dr Korneeva taught at Tomsk State University from 2014 to 2021.<\/p>\n
