Alexander Pushkin stands in a unique position as the founding
father of Russian literature. In this Companion, leading scholars
discuss Pushkin's work in its political, literary, social and
intellectual contexts. In the first part of the book individual
chapters analyse his poetry, his theatrical works, his narrative
poetry and historical writings. The second section explains and
samples Pushkin's impact on broader Russian culture by looking at
his enduring legacy in music and film from his own day to the
present. Special attention is given to the reinvention of Pushkin
as a cultural icon during the Soviet period. No other volume
available brings together such a range of material and such
comprehensive coverage of all Pushkin's major and minor writings.
The contributions represent state-of-the-art scholarship that is
innovative and accessible, and are complemented by a chronology and
a guide to further reading.
