Karolina Pavlova lived almost a century. Born in the early 19th century to a Russified German, she became a prominent figure in the literature of that era. Her constant companions were the finest poets of her generation—Pushkin, Baratynsky, Yazykov, and Mickiewicz—and she rightfully occupied an equal position among them. Pavlova's poems, published in renowned journals, should be considered alongside the works of recognized classics of Russian poetry. The energy of her poems, with their hypnotic intonation and unusual imagery, can be compared to the texts of Emily Dickinson, Pavlova's younger American contemporary, who wrote in seclusion. Unlike Dickinson, Pavlova was famous in her lifetime, but remained in the shadows of her era, appearing only occasionally in dedications and letters from more celebrated contemporaries. There is no doubt that the time has come to rediscover her work, and this collection provides an opportunity not only to become acquainted with Pavlova's poems and prose, but also to learn more about her life and work from a detailed preface by literary scholar and specialist in the history of Russian literature of the 18th and 19th centuries, Vladimir Korovin.
