Produktbeschreibung

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. D.S. Mirsky is the English pen-name of Dmitry Petrovich Svyatopolk-Mirsky, often known as Prince Mirsky, a Russian political and literary historian who promoted the knowledge and translations of Russian literature in Britain and of English literature in the Soviet Union. A scion of the Svyatopolk-Mirsky princely family, son of kniaz Pyotr Dmitrievich Sviatopolk-Mirskii, Imperial Russian Minister of Interior, he relinquished his princely title at an early age. During his school years, he became interested in the poetry of Russian Symbolism and started writing poems himself. He saw service in the Russian army during the World War I, joined the White movement as a member of Denikin's staff and eventually emigrated to Great Britain in 1921. While teaching Russian literature in the University of London, Mirsky published his landmark study A History of RussianLiterature: From Its Beginnings to 1900, which still remains a standard English-language guide to classical Russian literature
