This collection of essays, which should appeal both to Slavists and
students of comparative literature, deals with twelve major
twentieth-century Russian poets who, for varied reasons, became
estranged from the Soviet state. Some stayed in Russia to become
inner emigres, others chose to go into exile in the West. One less
hope, one more song (Akhmatova's words), stands both for their
suffering and often their deaths, but also for their humanity and
poetic achievement. The poets in question are Anna Akhmatova, Osip
Mandelshtam, Vladimir Mayakovsky, Alexander Blok, Sergey Esenin,
Nikolay Gumilev, Vyacheslav Ivanov, Marina Tsvetaeva, Vladislav
Khodasevich, Boris Poplavsky, Boris Pasternak and Joseph Brodsky.
The whole collection is followed by a cultural perspective of the
Russian 19th and 20th centuries.
