From orientalism to cultural capital presents a fascinating account of the wave of russophilia that pervaded british literary culture in the early twentieth century. The authors bring a new approach to the study of this period, exploring the literary phenomenon through two theoretical models from the social sciences: orientalism and the notion of «cultural capital» associated with pierre bourdieu. Examining the responses of leading literary practitioners who had a significant impact on the institutional transmission of russian culture, they reassess the mechanics of cultural dialogism, mediation and exchange, casting new light on british perceptions of modernism as a transcultural artistic movement and the ways in which the literary interaction with the myth of russia shaped and intensified these cultural views.
