Ronald Hingley’s study of four major twentieth-century Russian poets, Anna Akhmatova, Osip Mandelstam, Boris Pasternak and Marina Tsvetaeva, traces their lives and writing through revolution, repression and the Stalin era.

Combining literary criticism, biography and history, the book examines the poets’ relationships, artistic development and confrontations with Soviet political authority.
