Sophia Parnok - The Life and Work of Russia's Sappho

Diana Burgins extensively researched life of Parnok is deliberately woven around the poets writings, which appear here in English translation. The poems and biographical material should make "Sophia Parnok" useful for students of Russian literature, lesbian history and womens studies.

Summary

Chekhov's barbed comment suggests the climate in which Sophia Parnok was writing, and is an added testament to the strength and confidence with which she pursued both her personal and artistic life. This book is divided into seven chapters, which reflect seven natural divisions in Parnok's life.
