Pages can include considerable notes-in pen or highlighter-but the notes cannot obscure the text. Bert Clarke was born in Richmond, Virginia in He started his typographical work in high school, laying out his high school yearbook. After a year with the Club, Clarke turned to freelance pursuits and happened upon an opportunity to complete a set of catalogues for the Frick Collection with then-partner, David J. After the catalogues were complete, the two bought a press in New York and named it The Thistle Press. The two continued producing fine typography until, when the press was merged with another. Clarke was then invited to join the press of A. Scope and Content Note: These files also include visual material such as drawings and occasional photographs. The collection also includes material that Bert Clarke collected for general use in his day-to-day work including printing and typographic samples, ornament samples, font samples, and engravings. A small amount of general correspondence is included, as well as a collection of ephemera from organizations with which Clarke was involved. This collection arrived with no arrangement scheme and was arranged by the archivist into the following series: Series II is arranged chronologically, where the date is known.

3 Chapter 2 : Collection Library of RUSSIAN LITERATURE Volumes Soviet Union Russia Books ebay The New Russian Poets, to has 4 ratings and 0 reviews: Published July 1st by Marion Boyars Publishers Ltd, pages, Paperback. See Article History Alternative Titles: Akhmatova began writing verse at age 11 and at 21 joined a group of St. Petersburg poets, the Acmeists, whose leader, Nikolay Gumilyov, she married in They soon traveled to Paris, immersing themselves for months in its cultural life. Their son, Lev, was born in, but their marriage did not last they divorced in The Acmeists, who included notably Osip Mandelshtam, were associated with the new St. Codifying their own poetic practice, Acmeists demanded concrete representation and precise form and meaningâ combined with a broad-ranging erudition Classical antiquity, European history and culture, including art and religion. To these Akhmatova added her own stamp of elegant colloquialism and the psychological sophistication of a young cosmopolitan woman, fully in control of the subtle verbal and gestural vocabulary of modern intimacies and romance. Her appeal stemmed from the artistic and emotional integrity of her poetic voice as well as from her poetic persona, further amplified by her own striking appearance. During World War I and following the Revolution of, she added to her main theme some civic, patriotic, and religious motifs but did not sacrifice her personal intensity or artistic conscience. Her artistry and increasing control of her medium were particularly prominent in her next collections: The execution in of her former husband, Gumilyov, on trumped-up charges of participation in an anti-soviet conspiracy the Tagantsev affair further complicated her position. In she entered a period of almost complete poetic silence and literary ostracism, and no volume of her poetry appeared in the Soviet Union until Her public life was now limited to her studies of Aleksandr Pushkin. The s were especially hard for Akhmatova. Her son, Lev Gumilyov â 92, and her third husband she was married from to to the Assyriologist Vladimir Shileiko, art historian and critic Nikolay Punin â, were arrested for political deviance in Both were soon released, but her son was arrested again in and subsequently served a five-year sentence in the Gulag. Her friend Mandelshtam was arrested in her presence in and died in a concentration camp in Nevertheless, in September, following the German invasion, Akhmatova was permitted to deliver an inspiring radio address to the women of Leningrad St. Evacuated to Tashkent, Uzbekistan, soon thereafter, she read her poems to hospitalized soldiers and published a number of war-inspired poems; a small volume of selected poetry appeared in Tashkent in At the end of the war she returned to Leningrad, where her poems began to appear in local magazines and newspapers. She gave poetic readings, and plans were made for publication of a large edition of her works. She was expelled from the Union of Soviet Writers; an unreleased book of her poems, already in print, was destroyed; and none of her work appeared in print for three years. This uncharacteristic capitulation to the Soviet dictatorâ in one of the poems Akhmatova declares: After a number of editions of her works, including some of her brilliant essays on Pushkin, were published in the Soviet Union,, two in, ; none of these, however, contains the complete corpus of her literary productivity. This difficult and complex work, in which the life of St. Akhmatova executed a number of superb translations of the works of other poets, including Victor Hugo, Rabindranath Tagore, Giacomo Leopardi, and various Armenian and Korean poets. She also wrote sensitive personal memoirs on Symbolist writer Aleksandr Blok, the artist Amedeo Modigliani, and fellow Acmeist Mandelshtam. In she was awarded the Etna-Taormina prize, an international poetry prize awarded in Italy, and in she received an honorary doctoral degree from the University of Oxford. Her journeys to Sicily and England to receive these honours were her first travel outside her homeland since Page 3

See all 2 formats and editions Hide other formats and. His papers were confiscated, he was interrogated, twice put in a mental institution [9] and then arrested. He was charged with social parasitism [13] by the Soviet authorities in a trial in, finding that his series of odd jobs and role as a poet were not a sufficient contribution to society. Who has enrolled you in the ranks of poets? For his "parasitism" Brodsky was sentenced to five years hard labor and served 18 months on a farm in the village of Norenskaya, in the Archangelsk region, miles from Leningrad. He wrote on his typewriter, chopped wood, hauled manure and at night read his anthologies of English and American poetry, including a lot of W. Auden and Robert Frost. Your voice, your body, your name mean nothing to me now. No one destroyed them. And I have served that portion. Only four of his poems were published in Leningrad anthologies in and, most of his work appearing outside the Soviet Union or circulated in secret samizdat until Persecuted for his poetry and his Jewish heritage, he was denied permission to travel. In, while Brodsky was being considered for exile, the authorities consulted mental health expert Andrei Snezhnevsky, a key proponent of the notorious pseudo-medical diagnosis of "paranoid reformist delusion". Without examining him personally, Snezhnevsky diagnosed Brodsky as having " sluggishly progressing schizophrenia ", concluding that he was "not a valuable person at all and may be let go". When called to the Ministry of the Interior in and asked why he had not accepted, he stated that he wished to stay in the country. Within 10 days officials broke into his apartment, took his papers, and on 4 June put him on a plane for Vienna, Austria. Recalling his landing in Vienna, Brodsky commented "I knew I was leaving my country for good, but for where, I had no idea whatsoever. So I came to the States. In an interview he was asked: Who are you, an American or a Russian? It also called his writing "rich and intensely vital", characterized by "great breadth in time and space". It was "a big step for me, a small step for mankind", he joked. The Librarian of Congress said that Brodsky had "the open-ended interest of American life that immigrants have. This is a reminder that so much of American creativity is from people not born in America. Brodsky held an honorary degree from the University of Silesia in Poland and was an honorary member of the International Academy of Science. In, Gleb Uspensky, a senior editor at the Russian publishing house Vagrius, asked Brodsky to return to Russia for a tour but he could not agree. He was a greatly honored professor, was on first name terms with the heads of many large publishing houses, and connected to the significant figures of American literary life. His friend Ludmila Shtern wrote that many Russian intellectuals in both Russia and America assumed his influence was unlimited, that a nod from him could secure them a book contract, a teaching post or a grant, that it was in his gift to assure a glittering career. A helping hand or a rejection of a petition for help could create a storm in Russian literary circles, which Shtern suggests became very personal at times. Marina Basmanova lived in fear of the Soviet authorities, until the collapse of the Soviet Union in ; only after this was their son Andrei Basmanov allowed to join his father in New York. I was born and grew up in the Baltic marshland by zinc-gray breakers that always marched on in twos. Other notable works include the play Marbles and Watermark, a prose collection Auden described Brodsky as a traditionalist lyric poet fascinated by "encounters with nature, [ Selected Poems, shows that although his strength was a distinctive kind of dry, meditative soliloquy, he was immensely versatile and technically accomplished in a number of forms. Selected Poems â collected translations of older work with new work written during his American exile and reflect on themes of memory, home and loss. In particular, Brodsky emphasized the power of literature to positively affect its audience and to develop the language and culture in which it is situated. He suggested that the Western literary tradition was in part responsible for the world having overcome the catastrophes of the 20th century, such as Nazism, Communism and the World Wars. During his term as Poet Laureate, Brodsky promoted the idea of bringing the Anglo-American poetic heritage to a wider American audience by distributing free poetry anthologies to the public through a government-sponsored program. Billington wrote "Joseph had difficulty understanding why poetry did not draw the large audiences in the United States that it Page 4

5 did in Russia. He was proud of becoming an American citizen in the Soviets having made him stateless upon his expulsion in and valued the freedoms that life in the United States provided. As Poet Laureate, he suggested that inexpensive anthologies of the best American poets be made available in hotels and airports, hospitals and supermarkets. He thought that people who are restless or fearful or lonely or weary might pick up poetry and discover unexpectedly that others had experienced these emotions before and had used them to celebrate life rather than escape from it. Poet Laureate in October He says, "By failing to read or listen to poets, society dooms itself to inferior modes of articulation, those of the politician, the salesman or the charlatan. For what distinguishes us from the rest of the animal kingdom is precisely the gift of speech. In interview with Sven Birkerts in Brodsky reflected: If what distinguishes us from other species is speech, then poetry, which is the supreme linguistic operation, is our anthropological, indeed genetic, goal. Anyone who regards poetry as an entertainment, as "a read", commits an anthropological crime, in the first place, against himself. Joseph Brodsky was the embodiment of the hopes not only of Anna Akhmatova, the last of the great Petersburg poets from the beginning of the century, but also Nadezhda Mandelstam, the widow of another great martyred poet Osip Mandelstam. Both of them saw Joseph as part of the guiding light that might some day lead Russia back to her own deep roots". Page 5

His poetic monodrama Vladimir Mayakovsky was performed in St. Above all, his poetry is declamatory, for mass audiences. When the Russian Revolution of broke out, Mayakovsky was wholeheartedly for the Bolsheviks. As a vigorous spokesman for the Communist Party, Mayakovsky expressed himself in many ways. From to he worked in the Russian Telegraph Agency as a painter of posters and cartoons, which he provided with apt rhymes and slogans. He poured out topical poems of propaganda and wrote didactic booklets for children while lecturing and reciting all over Russia. In he composed a 3,line elegy on the death of Vladimir Ilich Lenin. But he also wrote sharply satirical verse. Collection of Philip B. Meggs Mayakovsky found time to write scripts for motion pictures, in some of which he acted. In his last three years he completed two satirical plays: During a stay in Paris in, he fell in love with a refugee, Tatyana Yakovleva, whom he wanted to marry but who refused him. At the same time, he had misunderstandings with the dogmatic Russian Association of Proletarian Writers and with Soviet authorities. Nor was the production of his Banya a success.

11 Chapter 8 : From the Ends to the Beginning: A Bilingual Anthology of Russian Poetry (The following is the first of two poems I am posting from The New Russian Poets: to An Anthology, selected, edited, and translated by George Reavey. I am also including my original photography with the posts. Nadezhda Gannibalova â mother of the poet Pushkin exam at lyceum Early life[ edit ] Born in Moscow, Pushkin published his first poem at When he finished school, as part of the first graduating class of the prestigious Imperial Lyceum in Tsarskoye Selo, near Saint Petersburg, his talent was already widely recognized within the Russian literary scene. After school, Pushkin plunged into the vibrant and raucous intellectual youth culture of the capital, Saint Petersburg. In, he published his first long poem, Ruslan and Ludmila, with much controversy about its subject and style. Social activism[ edit ] While at the Lyceum, Pushkin was heavily influenced by the Kantian liberal individualist teachings of Alexander Petrovich Kunitsyn, who Pushkin would later commemorate in his poem 19 October. That angered the government and led to his transfer from the capital in May He joined the Filiki Eteria, a secret organization whose purpose was to overthrow Ottoman rule in Greece and establish an independent Greek state. He was inspired by the Greek Revolution and when the war against the Ottoman Turks broke out, he kept a diary recording the events of the national uprising. It is generally believed that he dedicated this poem to Anna Kern, but there are other opinions. Poet Mikhail Dudin believed that the poem was dedicated to the serf Olga Kalashnikova. He could not however, gain permission to publish it until five years later. The original and uncensored version of the drama was not staged until Around â he met and befriended the Polish poet Adam Mickiewicz, during exile in central Russia. After much hesitation, Natalia accepted a proposal of marriage from Pushkin in April, but not before she received assurances that the Tsarist government had no intentions to persecute the libertarian poet. Later, Pushkin and his wife became regulars of court society. They officially became engaged on 6 May, and sent out wedding invitations. Due to an outbreak of cholera and other circumstances, the wedding was delayed for a year. When the Tsar gave Pushkin the lowest court title; Gentleman of the Chamber, the poet became enraged, feeling that the Tsar intended to humiliate him by implying that Pushkin was being admitted to court not on his own merits but solely so that his wife, who had many admirers including the Tsar himself, could properly attend court balls. Death[ edit ] By the autumn of, Pushkin was falling into greater and greater debt and faced scandalous rumours that his wife had a love affair. The same day Pushkin sent the letter to refuse the duel. On 26 January 7 February of Pushkin sent a "highly insulting letter" to Heeckeren. The only answer for that letter could be a challenge to a duel, and Pushkin knew it. Since Dantes-Gekkern was the ambassador of a foreign country, he could not fight a duel â it would mean the immediate collapse of his career. Pushkin was critically wounded, the bullet entering at his hip and penetrating into his abdomen. Two days later, on 29 January 10 February at The funeral service was assigned to the St. The ceremony took place at a large gathering of people. After the funeral, the coffin was lowered into the basement, where it stayed until 3 February, before the departure to Pskov. Alexander Pushkin was buried on the territory of the monastery Svyatogorsk Pskov province beside his mother. His last home is now a museum. Painted by Ivan Makarov Descendants[ edit ] Pushkin had four children from his marriage to Natalia: Only the lines of Alexander and Natalia still remain. Pushkin is also known for his short stories. Pushkin himself preferred his verse novel Eugene Onegin, which he wrote over the course of his life and which, starting a tradition of great Russian novels, follows a few central characters but varies widely in tone and focus. Onegin is a work of such complexity that, while only about a hundred pages long, translator Vladimir Nabokov needed two full volumes of material to fully render its meaning in English. Even so, Pushkin has profoundly influenced western writers like Henry James. Russian critics have traditionally argued that his works represent a path from Neoclassicism through Romanticism to Realism. An alternative assessment suggests that "he had an ability to entertain contrarities [sic] which may seem Romantic in origin, but are ultimately subversive of all fixed points of view, all single outlooks, including the Romantic" and that "he is simultaneously Romantic and not Romantic". The poetical and metaphysical strain that still lived in Church Slavonic forms and locutions Abundant and natural gallicisms Everyday colloquialisms of his set Stylized popular speech by Page 11

He is seen as having originated the highly-nuanced level of language which characterizes Russian literature after him, and he is also credited with substantially augmenting the Russian lexicon. Whenever he found gaps in the Russian vocabulary, he devised calques. His rich vocabulary and highly-sensitive style are the foundation for modern Russian literature. His accomplishments set new records for development of the Russian language and culture.
