Poets of Modern Russia: Cambridge Studies in Russian Literature

Autor France
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 2 feb 1983
This book was originally published in 1982. For the majority of English-speaking readers Russian literature means above all great prose writers: Tolstoy and Dostoevsky, Turgenev and Chekhov, the Pasternak of Doctor Zhivago and Solzhenitsyn. However, even casual observers have become aware that poetry has always mattered in Russian society more than in most Western countries, and many non-specialist Western readers have discovered through a number of fine translations the tremendous power and richness of twentieth-century Russian poetry. Peter France has been closely involved in some of the translation work and he has now produced a serious and detailed study of modern Russian poetry aimed at readers with little or no Russian. The book traces the main developments in Russian poetry over the last two hundred years and concentrates on major poets who have of late become increasingly well known in English-speaking countries through the publication of good poetic translations.

Notă biografică

After leaving school, Peter France wanted to become a builder and took on an apprenticeship, unfortunately though, the firm went broke, and he was out on the street. He applied for a job with a firm selling clothing, hosiery and furnishings and spent some two years with them. Then he was called up with the army, did a cadre course with the Special Air Service and became a member of B-Troop, eventually serving with them in Vietnam. He was about to re-enlist and rang his parents in Tasmania, only to be bluntly told that the farm may not be there when he got out, so he told his father that he would purchase the farm as if it was Joe Blow off the street; thus, with his military career ended, he became a dairy farmer and is still on the farm today.
