About this book

Russian writing from its origins onward is surveyed in this short book by Maurice Baring, first printed in 1914 and 1915. Baring had reported from Russia, and his preface notes that English readers still lacked a complete translation of Pushkin.

Seven chapters move from the origins through Pushkin, Lermontov, the age of prose and the epoch of reform to Tolstoy and Dostoyevsky and a second age of poetry. A conclusion, a chronological table and an index follow. It was written for general readers rather than specialists.
