Poetry and Politics in the Anglo-Russian Literary Society, 1893–1920s
The article explores the work of the Anglo-Russian Literary Society, an intercultural organization founded in 1893 by British philanthropist Edward Alexander Cazalet. It focuses on the Society's translations of poetry — which were utilized for political ends — and essays on Russian culture produced by its members, including Cazalet's closest associate John Pollen, and published in The Anglo-Russian Literary Society Proceedings and other outlets. The article examines how the principal members of the ARLS sought to overcome the perception of Russia as a belligerent 'other'. By embracing Slavophile perspectives, they aimed to highlight the significant similarities between Russian and British national identities, hoping to demonstrate that cultural commonalities could serve as a foundation for international understanding.
