Osip Mandelstam is, with Boris Pasternak, a major Russian poet of
the twentieth century, yet most of the attention paid him by modern
scholars has been confined to the years 1908-1925, when he was
working on his first three collections of poetry: his subsequent
collections, comprising over two-thirds of his poetic output, are
very little known. In this 1977 study, the first devoted to
Mandelstam's life and work between 1930 and 1937, Dr Baines'
concern is to dispel the view that Mandelstam's later poetry is
weak or obscure and to clarify the many misconceptions which have
surrounded it. To this end, she provides a continuous narrative of
the events which form the background to composition, although she
concentrates on the poems themselves, their nature and
interpretation, quoting liberally in Russian.
