In this study, David Bethea illustrates the relation between the art and life of 19th-century poet Alexander Pushkin, the central figure in Russian thought and culture. Bethea shows how Pushkin, on the eve of this 200th anniversary, still speaks to our time.

Includes the original Russian text and, for the first time, an English translation of that version. Antony Wood s translation is fluent and idiomatic; analyses by Dunning et al. are incisive; and the case they make is skillfully argued. . . . Highly recommended. "Choice""
