- catalog abstract "The Development of Russian Verse explores the Russian verse tradition from Pushkin to Brodsky, showing how certain formal features are associated with certain genres and, at times, specific themes. Michael Wachtel's basic thesis is that form is never neutral: poets can react to the work of their predecessors positively by means of stylization and development or negatively by means of parody or revision, but they cannot ignore it. Keeping technical terms to a minimum and providing English translations for all Russian quotations, Wachtel offers close readings of individual poems of more than fifty poets. His aim is to help English-speaking readers reconstruct the strong sense of continuity Russian poets have always felt, that transcends any individual epoch or ideology. Ultimately, his book is an inquiry into the nature of literary tradition itself, and how it coalesces in a country that has always taken so much of its identity from its written legacy.".
