Opis

This anthology offers an introduction to the first major flowering of Russian women's writing between the years 1835 and 1860, introducing the reader to such significant figures as Elena Gun, Mariya Zhukova, Nadezhda Durova, and Avdotya Panaeva. Newly translated, the selections show the diversity of women's writing in the period, as well as the inevitably interconnected nature of theme and treatment among different authors.

Recenzje

These works represent a modest treasure-trove of hitherto barely known secondary writing of the period and, at the same time, a significant contribution to our awareness of the history of women's writing in Russia.
