Mothers and sons and Russian literature

G. S. Smith

University of Oxford

Using basic information about the history of the Russian family to set up some elementary points of reference, the lecture examines the ways in which a series of eminent Russian male authors from the eighteenth century to the present day have represented in their fiction the relationship between mothers and their adult sons. They are found to have treated the mother figure in three main ways: elimination, idealization and demonization.

Key Words: Elizabeth Hill Memorial • mothers • Russian literature • sons
