From Imagination of the West to Return to Russia — Strakhov's Views on Herzen

Abstract

Abstract: Traditionally, A. I. Herzen has always been regarded as an aristocratic-revolutionary, and worshiper of the West Europe. However, from the perspective of cultural conflicts, N. N. Strakhov regards Herzen as a nihilist in despair, revealing his spiritual process of turning to the Russian cultural tradition and claiming that he sticks to the national beliefs and is the first one to fight against the West in Russian literature. This argument seems to be not only not only a typical case of the critic's anti-westernism, but also the starting point of self-reflection in Russian culture in the second half of the 19th century.

Key words: N.N. Strakhov, A.I. Herzen, literary criticism, cultural features
