Holmgren examines how capitalism in turn-of-the-century Russia and the Kingdom of Poland affected the elitist culture of literature, publishing, book markets, and readership. Holmgren also draws parallels with and assesses recent literary and publishing developments in Russia and Poland, shedding light on the current book market and the literature of Eastern Europe as a whole. In this ground-breaking book, Beth Holmgren examines how—in turn-of-the-century Russia and its subject, the Kingdom of Poland—capitalism affected the elitist culture of literature, publishing, book markets, and readership. Rewriting Capitalism considers how both "serious" writers and producers of consumer culture coped with the drastic power shift from "serious" literature to market-driven literature.
