Original decorative wrappers; 141 1 pp. Light soil and foxing to wrappers; original spine strip lacking and sections of the text beginning to detach; text evenly toned; still good or better. First edition. This curious mix of the history and ethnography of London was written by Platon Mikhailovich Kerzhentsev 1881-1940 the leading historian of Ireland in the Soviet Union. Focused on London as the seat of British imperialism this work discusses the customs and mores of the English visiting all corners of London rich and poor. Two sections 'Worker's London' and 'London Organizations' paint a picture of the difficulties faced by the working classes in the metropolis. In 1899-1904 Kerzhentsev studied history at the Moscow State University and in 1904 he joined the Russian Social Democratic Labor Party RSDLP. After numerous arrests in Russia Kerzhentsev lived in exile in the UK France and the United States and was active in the Bolshevik groups abroad. In this period he also studied the history of the Irish struggles for independence and published two books on the subject "The fight for land and freedom in Ireland" 1917 and "Revolutionary Ireland" 1918. Upon his return to Russia Kerzhentsev went on to write for Izvestia and Pravda eventually becoming the head of Russian Telegraph Agency ROSTA and initiating its ideological bent. Kerzhentsev was also one of the founders of the system of Soviet censorship and went on to write one of the first histories of Lenin "The Life of Lenin" 1934. Despite being removed from his post in 1938 Kerzhentsev survived the Stalinist purges and died of natural causes in 1940.

1920R5163Peterburg: Gosudarstvennoe izdatel'stvo State Publishers 1920. Fourth edition. Hardcover. Fine. Later black cloth preserving the original illustrated wraps; pp. 156 with illustrations by Vidberg. "Within the discursive world created by the Soviet mass spectacles the event announces itself as new by virtue of its shift from the individual to the mass and the instigation of a collective subject as both the subject and object of the drama. In this way it distinguishes itself from the old 'pre-modern' society. More specifically it took the pre-revolutionary Symbolist utopias of 'ritual theatre' whose formulation was largely a response to the abortive 1905 revolution and recast their 'people' as the proletariat" Kleberg 1980 44-64. Platon Kerzhentsev's THE CREATIVE THEATRE was the most influential formulation in this direction -- his book was in its fourth edition by 1920. The October revolution had he claimed provided the social base for the realization of the ritual community valorized by the Symbolists; by the time of the fourth edition he was able to claim that "much of what seemed a utopia two years ago now appears to be on the way to becoming reality" Kleberg 1980 62. "This claim was based on the explosion of mass spectacles that had occurred in the intervening years" Smith "Meyerhold Mass Theatre and Fascism". The theory for Soviet mass spectacles. <br/><br/> Gosudarstvennoe izdatel'stvo [State Publishers] hardcover books
