Anna Akhmatova and Marina Tsvetaeva, whose stars blazed across the horizon of Russian poetry at the beginning of the last century, will forever be symbols of the Silver Age. But in their shadow remain other, no less important female poets in Russian literature.
The female face of the Silver Age includes Zinaida Gippius, one of the outstanding representatives of the Symbolist movement, and Mirra Lokhvitskaya, considered by scholars to be the founder of Russian "women's" poetry. Mirra's sister, the brilliant writer and favorite of Nicholas II, Nadezhda Teffi, also published her own book of poetry. Alongside Tsvetaeva, the name of Sofia Parnok, the "Russian Sappho," a poet with a complex personal and creative life, is forever etched in history. Our book also includes poems by Polixena Solovyova, the daughter of the historian S. M. Solovyov and one of the most talented "forgotten women" of the Silver Age.
Collected under one cover, their poems reveal a woman's perspective on love, freedom, and creativity.
The atmosphere of the era is enhanced by a rich selection of illustrations from classic Russian paintings of the early 20th century, from L. Bakst to V. Serov.
