Art in the Light of Conscience: Eight Essays on Poetry by Marina Tsvetaeva (Engl

Description: Art in the Light of Conscience by Marina Tsvetaeva, Angela Livingstone This is a reissue of a classic text on poetry and the poetic process and classic Russian poetry in particular first published in English translation in 1992, by Bristol Classical Press in the UK and Harvard University Press in the USA. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Marina Tsvetaeva (1892-1941) was one of the four great Russian poets of the 20th century, along with Akhmatova, Mandelstam and Pasternak. She also wrote outstanding prose. Endowed with phenomenally heightened linguistic sensitivity (Joseph Brodsky), Tsvetaeva was primarily concerned with the nature of poetic creation and what it means to be a poet. Among the most exciting of all explorations of this theme are the essays Art in the Light of Conscience, her spirited defence of poetry; The Poet on the Critic, which earned her the enmity of many; and The Poet and Time, the key to understanding her work. Notes With revised translations by Angela Livingstone of 12 of her poems, an introduction, textual notes and glossary. Author Biography Marina Tsvetaeva (1892-1941) was one of the four great Russian poets of the 20th century, along with Akhmatova, Pasternak and Mandelstam. The first two survived the terror, but Mandelstam died in a camp and Tsvetayeva was driven to hang herself in 1941. Bloodaxe published David McDuffs translation of her "Selected Poems" in 1987. Review For me, there are no essays on poetry as unique, as profound, as passionate, as inspiring as these. "Art, a series of answers to which there are no questions," Tsvetaeva brilliantly asserts, and then goes on to ask questions we didnt know existed until she offered them to us, and answers to some of poetrys most enduring mysteries. -- C.K.
