Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Poetry and Progress in Russia This volume of essays makes no pretension to be a systematic review of Russian poetry as a whole. For the benefit of readers to whom the subject may be entirely new, I have prefaced my studies of some individual poets by an introductory section dealing more generally with the history of Russian poetry before the advent of Poushkin; but it would be doing an injustice to a great and complex subject should any novice in Russian literature be tempted to take these essays as an exhaustive treatment of the national poets and their work. On the other hand, more sophisticated readers may perhaps question the value of a book which takes no account of Poushkin´s gifted contemporary Yazykov, of Alexis Tolstoi - sometimes called the Russian Walter Scott - of Shevchenko, the singer of the Ukraine, of Plestcheiev, Maikov, and many other names well known in Russian poetry. I may forestall such criticisms by disclaiming all intention of drawing a bird´s-eye view of my subject. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
