A History of Russian Literature: Comprising 'A History of Russian Literature' and 'Contemporary Russian Literature' - Paperback

by D. S. Mirsky (Author), Francis J. Whitfield (Editor)

This book, first published in 1949, is an abridged version of Mirsky's classic two texts on Russian literature, updated with a postscript by the editor assessing the development of Soviet literature. Beautifully written, Mirsky's analyses of Russian writers and literature go hand in hand with his takes on Russian history.
