The Oxford Handbook of Russian Poetry

<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title> <jats:p>The Oxford Handbook of Russian Poetry gathers forty original chapters by scholars and poets, offering a fresh account of the tradition from the Early Modern period to today. Rather than tracing a single narrative, it presents multiple histories and case studies. Structured around thematic rubrics that operate at different scales, the volume models varied approaches to Russian poetry. It explores official and underground, metropolitan and diasporic texts through diverse critical methods—ranging from historical poetics to performance and network theory. All quoted poems appear in both Russian and English, making it a valuable resource for scholars and students alike.</jats:p>
