First published in 1963, this unique and pioneering anthology has been continuously used as an invaluable text in Russian studies. Containing over sixty selections from the finest of Russia’s medieval authors, much of the material published in this anthology has never before been available in English. Medieval Russian Epics, Chronicles, and Tales is a vital resource for readers interested in learning more about the writings that influenced Pushkin, Gogol, Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, and Chekhov.

· The Siege of Kiev and Olga’s Death
· Vladimir Monomakh: Instruction to His Children
· Tale of the Life and Courage of the Pious and Great Prince Alexander
· Narrative of the Pious Prince Dovmont and His Courage

· Epic of Sukhan
· Simeon Polotsky: Excerpt from Ode on the Birth of Peter I
· Simeon Polotsky: The Law
· Simeon Polotsky: The Merchant Class
· Tsar Alexis Mikhailovich: The Rules of Falconry

In addition to a comprehensive introduction, the editor has prefaced each selection with detailed information about its literary and historical background, and has included a glossary and brief chronology of Russian history and culture.
