Russian Literature: An Introduction

Robert Lord. Taplinger Publishing Company, $15.45 (214pp) ISBN 978-0-8008-6941-0

Intended primarily as an overview of Russian literature from the 10th century to the present, this work goes beyond the expected by including discussions of the philosophical, political and social trends that influenced Russian writers and highlighting various post-Revolutionary poets and novelists who have become known to English-language readers only recently. PW called Lord's survey ""thoughtful, balanced and illuminating.'' December
