Description
ALEXANDER PUSHKIN (1799-1837) is Russiaâs most
beloved poet. Eugene Onegin, called by Pushkin a
âœnovel in verse,â? is Russiaâs favorite
narrative poem and her most influential novel.
The narrativeâabout what was widely called a
âœsuperfluous manâ?âsets a context for works
by Turgenev, Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, and Chekhov
that were to follow. From Lord Byron, Pushkin
borrowed a clever device the use of a
casual narrator who becomes a fascinating
character in the story. Tchaikovsky made Onegin
into a great tragic opera, but he had to leave
out the entertaining character of the
narratorâplus all the delightful mood changes
in the storytellerâs personality. Form-faithful
translator MARTIN BIDNEY has created a new genre
of literature, the verse interview book. For
every 14-line poem of Pushkinâs, Bidney writes
a Pushkin-style âœreplyâ? poem! So the book
becomes a total dialogue, really two verse novels
in conversation. Utterly unprecedented. The
translator as collocutor. Professor Caryl Emerson
is the foremost authority on the âœdialogicâ?
approach to literature explored by Russian critic
Mikhail Bakhtin. So Bidneyâs âœIntroductionâ?
takes the form of a dialogue with her! At
the start she writes âœI just read the first
two stanzas . . . youâre awfully good. And
of course an in-form dialogic response is
completely in keeping with the digressive,
invasive, in-your-face nature of Pushkinâs
indulgent Narrator.â? That sets the tone for all
of her remarks.
