Pushkin is often overshadowed by later Russian writers whose works
have achieved more extensive critical acclaim. Yet he is deservedly
regarded as Russia's foremost poet and holds a unique place in that
country's literature and history. The creator of a body of poetry
that has endured in its appeal and remains unsurpassed in quality,
Pushkin revitalized the language and culture of the educated
Russian people, leaving an inheritance of artistic potential for
his successors. This book gives a clear, detailed and accessible
account of all Pushkin's poetry, from the heroic and the
sentimental to the bawdy and humorous, as well as a briefer
consideration of his major prose works. Its approach should present
no difficulty to the reader who only has a limited knowledge of
Russian, and above all, emphasizes the challenging and adventurous
spirit of enjoyment in the work of this major poet.
