Surveys the Russian lyric scene from the mid-18th century through the Modern period, in terms of poets' own ideas as well as the author's interpretations. Themes such as poetic craft, musicality, and sociopolitical context are interrelated through their variations in 21 of Russia's finest lyric poets, and then integrated through two recapitulations. For students of Russian lyric poetry, and for those interested in comparative, structural, (auto)biographical, and musicological approaches to lyric poetry and poetic culture.
