The Most Dangerous Art: Poetry, Politics, and Autobiography after the Russian Revolution

By Donald Loewen

Book Overview

The book shows how three of Russia's most important twentieth century poets used autobiographical prose to defend poetry and the poet in an era when poetry was under attack. It juxtaposes these autobiographies with each other and with the culturo-political events that followed Russia's 1917 October Revolution in a way that has never previously been attempted.
