A.M. Remizov and J. James: problem statement

Many Russian and foreign scholars name J.Joyce and A.M. Remizov as comparable writers in terms of their prose method. Both these writers expressed a high appraisal of the works of each other. The paper deals with the problem of when and how these two renowned modernist-writers could hear about each other for the first time, whether they met in person or not and who might be the person to introduce them to each other. The research is based on reviews, literary critics, books, published in Russia and abroad, and also on archival materials (A.M.Remizov's and V.Dixon's correspondence, articles, papers).
