Today some of these poets, such as Akhmatova, Mandelstam, Mayakovsky, Pasternak, and Tsvetaeva, are known around the world. This volume introduces Silver Age poetry with its cultural ferment, the manifestos and the philosophical, religious, and aesthetic debates, the occult references and sexual experimentation, and the emergence of women, Jews, gay and lesbian poets, and peasants as part of a brilliant and varied poetic environment. After a thorough introduction, the volume offers brief biographies of the poets and selections of their work in translation-many of them translated especially for this volume-as well as critical and fictional texts (some by the poets themselves) that help establish the context and outline the lively discourse of the era and its indelible moral and artistic aftermath. 410 0$aCultural syllabus. 606 $aRussian poetry$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aRussian poetry$y19th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aRussian poetry$y20th century$vTranslations into English 606 $aRussian poetry$y19th century$vTranslations into English 606 $aModernism (Literature)$zRussia 606 $aModernism (Literature)$zSoviet Union 607 $aRussia$2fast 607 $aSoviet Union$2fast 615 0$aRussian poetry$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aRussian poetry$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aRussian poetry 615 0$aRussian poetry 615 0$aModernism (Literature) 615 0$aModernism (Literature) 676 $a891.71409 702 $aForrester$b Sibelan E.
