Description
Hardback. 258pp. An in-depth study of the poetry and prose of the exiled Russian writer who was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1987. Moves from the influences of Brodsky's aesthetic (the existentialism of Kierkegaarde and Sestov, and the poetry of John Donne) to an understanding of his later role as a cross-cultural bilingual essayist.
