Hero of Our Time

Informationen zum Autor MIKHAIL LERMONTOV (1814-1841), soldier, socialite, and author, gained early fame as a lyric poet in the Byronic vein. He then wrote a few works of prose and drama. But he won historical renown as author of his only novel, A Hero of Our Time , published a year before he was killed in a duel. ELIZABETH CHERESH ALLEN is a professor of Russian and comparative literature at Bryn Mawr College and the author of, among other works, A Fallen Idol Is Still a God: Lermontov and the Quandaries of Cultural Transition . Mikhail Lermontov's A Hero of Our Time was the first modern Russian novel. Published in 1840, it set a model of penetrating observation and psychological depth that would come to typify Russian literature. Its "hero,” Grigorii Pechorin, also established a character type that became known in Russian fiction as "the superfluous man”.
