Overview
About the Author:
Donald Loewen is associate professor of Russian at Binghamton University (State University of New York)
Synopsis
The book shows how three of Russia's most important twentieth century poets used autobiographical prose to defend poetry and the poet in an era when poetry was under attack. It juxtaposes these autobiographies with each other and with the culturo-political events that followed Russia's 1917 October Revolution in a way that has never previously been attempted.
