The first major study in English of Vasily Zhukovsky (1783â1852)âpoet, translaÂtor of German romantic verse, and mentor of Pushkinâthis book brings overdue attention to an important figure in Russian literary and cultural history. Vinitskyâs âpsychological biographyâ argues that Zhukovsky very consciously set out to create for himself an emotional life reflecting his unique brand of romanticism, different from what we associate with Pushkin or poets such as Byron or Wordsworth. For Zhukovsky, ideal love was harmonious, built on a mystical foundation of spiritual kinship. Vinitsky shows how Zhukovksy played a pivotal role in the evolution of ideas central to Russiaâs literary and cultural identity from the end of the eighteenth century into the decades following the Napoleonic Wars.
