Synopsis
Specimens Of The Russian Poets by John Bowring. This translated collection introduces English readers to a wide range of Russian poets through Bowring’s versions, with an extensive introduction outlining Russia’s literary awakening after Peter the Great, discussion of language and versification, and sketches of poets such as Lomonosov, Derzhavin, Bogdanovich, Khemnitzer, Krilov, Karamsin, Zhukovsky, and Neledinsky Meletzky. The Table of Contents groups poets and includes Biographical and Critical Notices, providing context for each writer’s life and work. The included poems span odes on God, meditations on death, epic narrations, songs and fables, and lyric displays of love and patriotism. Bowring notes the challenges of translating Russian rhyme and idiom, arguing for fidelity to both sense and form. The volume, appended with biographical notices, aims to familiarize readers with Russia’s early classical traditions and to mark the country’s ascent from historical barbarism toward civilization.
