The Cambridge Introduction to Russian Poetry presents the major
themes, forms, genres and styles of Russian poetry. Using examples
from Russia's greatest poets, Michael Wachtel draws on three
centuries of verse, from the beginnings of secular literature in
the eighteenth century up to the present day. The first half of the
book is devoted to concepts such as versification, poetic language
and tradition; the second half is organised along genre lines and
examines the ode, the elegy, ballads, love poetry, nature poetry
and patriotic verse. All poetry appears in the original followed by
literal translations. This book is designed to give readers with
even a minimal knowledge of the Russian language an appreciation of
the brilliance of Russian poetry.
