The Russian poet Joseph Brodsky has in recent years commanded
increasing attention among both Russian specialists and a wider
audience interested in modern culture. In 1987 he received the
Nobel Prize for Literature. This book, the first in English to be
devoted entirely to him, presents a sustained and comprehensive
analysis of his work to date, and offers an interpretation of his
major themes: love, faith, creation, time, exile and empire.
Individual poems are closely scrutinised to show the complexity and
sophistication of Brodsky's ideas about perennial human problems,
and the ways in which his language conveys his perception of
certain values. Valentina Polukhina locates Brodsky in relation to
other Russian writers from Derzhavin to Akhmatova, as well as
drawing comparisons between his work and poetry in English. She
also provides a comprehensive bibliography. Her book constitutes a
timely study of the poetry and poetics, style and ideas of one of
the most important poets of the twentieth century.
