A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Russian poetry holds a high place in the worlds literature of the nineteenth centur and its future development ma be awaited with confidence. The Russians are an imaginative race, and their melodious flexible tongue is rich in poetical words, while a traditional wealth of folk-songs and tales, as well as the stirring history of their country, supplies Russian poets with ample material for their craft, besides what they may take from the storehouse of Western Europe. At first imitative and falsely classical, the poetry of Russia in the hands of Pushkin and his great successors becomes both original and national. We in Britain, the friends of Russia and her arts, should therefore learn to know and love the works of Russian poets, even as Byron, Scott, and Shelley have claimed not a few of their admirers and disciples over there. If this little book can do anything to introduce British readers to such a course of study, the editors object will have been gained. A part from the beauty of the poems themselves, the perusal of verse has a recognized value in fixing the grammatical forms and the stress-accents in the pupils mind, especially if some of the poems be learnt by heart.
