French to Russian Symbolism

[Alexandra Smith]

Dear Margaret,

In addition to Olga Meerson's comment advising to read Adrian Wanner's  
book Baudelaire in Russia (1996), it's worth reading Donchin's work on  
this subject:
Gergette Donchin. The influence of French symbolism on Russian poetry
  S-Gravenhage : Mouton & Co., 1958.
And:
Georgette Donchin "French Influence on Russian Symbolist Versification',
The Slavonic and East European Review, Vol. 33, No. 80 (Dec., 1954),  
pp. 161-187.
Victor Erlich's article offers some insightful comments, too:Victor  
Erlich. "Russian Poets in Search of a Poetics", Comparative  
Literature, Vol. 4, No. 1 (Winter, 1952), pp. 54-74.

With best wishes,
Alexandra
