Winner of the Excellence Award for Collaborative Research granted by the European Society of Comparative Literature (ESCL) In Great Immortality, twenty scholars from considerably different cultural backgrounds explore the ways in which certain poets, writers, and artists in Europe have become major figures of cultural memory. Through individual case studies, many of the contributors expand and challenge the concepts of cultural sainthood and canonization as developed by Marijan Dović and Jón Karl Helgason in National Poets, Cultural Saints: Canonization and Commemorative Cults of Writers in Europe (Brill, 2017). Even though the major focus of the book is the nineteenth-century cults of national poets, the volume examines a wide variety of cases in a very broad temporal and geographical framework – from Dante and Petrarch to the most recent attempts to sanctify artists by both the Catholic and Orthodox churches, and from the rise of a medieval Icelandic author of sagas to the veneration of a poet and national leader in Georgia. Contributors are: Bojan Baskar, Marijan Dović, Sveinn Yngvi Egilsson, David Fishelov, Jernej Habjan, Simon Halink, Jón Karl Helgason, Harald Hendrix, Andraž Jež, Marko Juvan, Alenka Koron, Roman Koropeckyj, Joep Leerssen, Christian Noack, Jaume Subirana, Magí Sunyer, Andreas Stynen, Andrei Terian, Bela Tsipuria, and Luka Vidmar.

In this volume are three stories by Vazha-Pshavela, a giant of modern Georgian literature, along with one of the epic poems for which he became renowned, All have been translated into English here for the first time. In "The Death of Bagrat Zakharych", a highly sardonic account of the sudden demise of a chancellery official, Vazha-Pshavela's ironic sense reaches its fullest pitch. The story invites comparison to classic works such as Melville's "Bartleby, the Scrivener" and Tolstoy's "The Death of Ivan Ilyich". "Memories: A Christmas Tale" tells of a boy who returns from boarding school to his village for the winter holiday. As he reconnects with his family, an anxiety-filled hunting expedition with his uncle changes his perspective on life. "Batura's Sword" features an enchanted weapon that haunts the people of Pshavi following the death of its owner. This transfixing story of honor on the battlefield evokes the magic of the Caucasus mountains. Finally, "Gogotur and Apshina", one of Vazha-Pshavela's many legendary epic poems, is a moving rumination on the themes of military glory and courage. It was singled out for translation into Russian three times by three great poets (Osip Mandelstam, Marina Tsvetaeva, and Nikolay Zabolotsky).
