Sifting the evidence from contemporary letters, diaries, and other sources, the author examines Pushkin's motives: his intense envy of his wife's popularity; his own social discomfort and failure; his humiliating obligation to the Tsar; his growing artistic sterility. He recreates the personalities of the central figures in the story and explores the tangled web of events which preceded the duel and the desperate last-minute efforts by friends of both Pushkin and d'Anthe?s to prevent their meeting. A vivid account of the duel itself and its tragic aftermath concludes this engrossing study of a perplexing chapter in literary history. 517 $aPushkin 676 $a891.713 700 $aVickery$b Walter N.$01271671 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910552754603321 996 $aPushkin$92995714 997 $aUNINA
