The Russian Image of Goethe, Volume 1: Goethe in Russian Literature of the First Half of the Nineteenth Century (Anniversary Collection)

The University of Pennsylvania Press is pleased to reissue in two volumes von Gronicka's study. The first volume discusses the early Russian reaction to Goethe and his work and his effect on Zhukovski (Goethe's translator and interpreter), Pushkin, Lermontov, the Pushkin Pleiade and the Decembrists, the Russian Romanticists, and the Westerners (Stankevich, Belinksi, and Herzen).

Andre von Gronicka was Emeritus Professor of Modern German Literature at the University of Pennsylvania. He was the author of Henry von Heiseler: A Russo-German Writer.
