Introduction

Part II contextualizes the literary developments of the second half of the seventeenth century, including the changes in education and print culture. The Part examines works of narrative (vision tales, stories, chronicles, saints lives, and autobiography) as responses to the dynastic crisis at the turn of the century, known as the Time of Troubles, and the religious conflict, or the Schism, beginning in the 1660s. Literature closely reflected the gradual disintegration of the narrative of Holy Russia from a paradise to a paradise lost. Humor and escapism were new features developed with the rise of popular fiction based on oral tales. Orthodox proponents of neo-humanist culture from Ruthenia augmented Muscovite court culture by introducing theater and new forms of ceremonial. Poetry as a means of self-expression among the learned also became ensconced among a notable group of clerks in the Moscow chanceries.
