Synopsis: Alfred Tennyson, 1st Baron Tennyson, (6 August 1809 - 6 October 1892), much better known as "Alfred, Lord Tennyson," was Poet Laureate of the United Kingdom during much of Queen Victoria's reign and remains one of the most popular poets in the English language. This book is the first to go behind the mask of the troubled poet to investigate the psychological springs of this black-tempered morbidity, deep anguish, and neurotic secrecy about his private life. More importantly, it reveals the sources of the successes and failures of this odd and difficult man who somehow became the embodiment of everything the Victorians thought was admirable in themselves. From many thousands of letters by Tennyson, his family, and his friends, as well as much other unpublished material, Martin has distilled a sensitive portrait of Tennyson, both as his contemporaries saw him and as he was in private.

Synopsis: Russian women's writing is now attracting enormous interest both in the West and in Russia itself. This is the first one-volume history of the subject to appear in any language in modern times. Written from a bold feminist perspective, the book combines a broad historical survey with close textual analysis. Sections on women's writing in the periods 1820-1880, 1881-1917, 1917-1954, and 1953-1992 are followed by essays on individual writers. Drawing on a wide range of sources, including rare literary journals and almanacs, Catriona Kelly's account shows familiar figures such as Akhmatova, Tsvetaeva, and Tolstoya in a radical new context and brings to light a colorful gallery of fascinating but neglected writers including Elena Gan, Nadezhda Teffi, Natalya Baranskaya, and Nina Sadur. This is an indispensable source for readers and students of women's writing, and for all those concerned with women's history, the history of feminism, and Russian literature in general (From: Amazon).
