While Gogol and Pushkin are the best known of these writers now, in the 1830s their popularity was equaled and sometimes surpassed by the likes of Marlinsky and Veltman, who are both featured in this well-rounded collection. Also included are Alexander Pushkin's "The Shot," Nikolai Gogol's "Viy," and the first English translations of works by Somov, Lermontov, and Vladimir Sollogub InRussian Romantic Prose: An Anthology, readers will find stories of adventure, travel, fantasy, and extraordinary passions, written by authors whose lives and fiction alike were charged with excitement and danger.
Carl R. Proffer, a renowned scholar of Russian literature, co-founded Ardis Publishers, the largest publisher of Russian literature in translation, and co-editor of "Russian Literature Triquarterly." Among his books and translations are studies of Gogol, the "Letters of Nikolai Gogol, " and "The Critical Prose of Alexander Pushkin."
