Overview

Alexander Pushkin is Russia's greatest poet and a national hero. He expressed aspirations that Russians had not expressed before, and made great literature out of the everyday life and language of the Russian people, preparing the ground for one of the world's greatest literary traditions. Here, many of the leading Pushkin scholars in the West describe their earliest encounters with Pushkin, explaining his influence on them personally and why they have devoted a substantial part of their working lives to this one writer. This volume consists of 21 essays by the most celebrated Pushkin scholars. It clearly establishes why the allure of Pushkin is so strong and gives a fascinating insight into the importance of his work in a broader cultural context.
