This section thus concludes the book by tracing the transformation of poetry in the 1920s, both institutionally through the consolidation of power in Moscow and the creation of the national republics, as well as aesthetically through the ways in which lexical shifts and script reforms shaped the weight of a new materialist conception of the poetic word.","PeriodicalId":247656,"journal":{"name":"On the Threshold of Eurasia","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114808427","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
