This is a lively and readable guide to Alexander Pushkin's novel in verse Eugene Onegin, a landmark of European Romanticism, and arguably the best of all Russian poetry. Professor Briggs addresses the question of how such remarkable poetry can have been composed about a rather banal plot, and considers the form of the work and its poetic techniques in detail. He offers fresh interpretations of the characters and events of the poem, and sets it against its European background. He discusses its influence - notably Tchaikovsky's operatic version - and points to its life-affirming philosophy and spirit of joyfulness. The book includes a chronological chart and a guide to further reading.

This review is from: Alexander Pushkin: Eugene Onegin (Landmarks of World Literature) (Paperback)
While I found the book useful as an adjunct to the novel, I misconstrued the information at time of ordering and thought I was ordering the novel... until it arrived. Actually it was very helpful by providing critical insights beyond my reading ability.
