  1. 1. The Penguin Book Of Russian Verse

    An accessible anthology of Russian poetry in translation that traces the nation’s literary voice from medieval and folk origins through the Golden Age to the radical experiments of the 20th century, assembling canonical and lesser‑known poets whose lyric, spiritual and political concerns reflect Russia’s landscapes, history and social upheavals; selections are presented with contextual notes and a chronology to convey the range of forms, tones and the translators’ efforts to evoke the original rhythms and moods.
