This is a lively and readable guide to Alexander Pushkin's novel in
verse Eugene Onegin, a landmark of European Romanticism, and
arguably the best of all Russian poetry. Professor Briggs addresses
the question of how such remarkable poetry can have been composed
about a rather banal plot, and considers the form of the work and
its poetic techniques in detail. He offers fresh interpretations of
the characters and events of the poem, and sets it against its
European background. He discusses its influence - notably
Tchaikovsky's operatic version - and points to its life-affirming
philosophy and spirit of joyfulness. The book includes a
chronological chart and a guide to further reading.
