Olga Sedakova: On Russian Literature – From Alexander Pushkin to Yuz Aleshkovsky
This volume brings together Olga Sedakova’s writings on Russian literature of the 19th and 20th centuries, spanning multiple genres and years. As a poet, translator, philologist, and cultural scholar, Sedakova offers readers a less familiar side of her work: a fresh, often unexpected look at canonical and modern authors.
The book opens with a section on Pushkin, who remains a central figure in Sedakova’s literary and scholarly reflections—examined as poet, prose writer, playwright, and critic. The second part gathers articles on prose, from Tolstoy and Dostoevsky to Venedikt Erofeev and Yuz Aleshkovsky. The third section explores Russian poetry, from Nekrasov to Arseny Tarkovsky. The final part is dedicated to contemporary poets, from Joseph Brodsky to Elena Shvarts.
With over fifty articles, lectures, and essays, this collection invites readers to rediscover two centuries of Russian literature and pose their own questions. For Sedakova, the central inquiry is about the “poetic” in the broadest sense. Price: 2241.00 RUR.
