    Book description

    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.

    Reviews

    '… a book that has been written and edited with rare coherence and intelligence.'

    Phillip Ross Bullock - Wadham College, Oxford

    'The Cambridge Companion to Pushkin succeeds brilliantly at its task: not merely to showcase Pushkin's genius but to contextualize it, repeatedly stressing the poet's vitality and relevance to today's world. It is a crucial addition to the library of every Pushkin scholar.'
