Collected Critical Prose Osip Mandelstam
This edition of the author's critical prose and letters should be useful reading for anyone wishing better understanding of his poetry. He published 3 small volumes of poems in his lifetime, but a rather more substantial body of prose. This book contains almost every known review, essay, memoir, vignette, polemic and sketch Mandelstam wrote, together with nearly 100 letters and the non-fiction prose works, Journey to Armenia, Fourth Prose, and Conversation about Dante.
