the bronze horseman

[Alexei Kutuzov]

Dear Sasha,

I came up against this problem 3-4 years ago.  I don't think there really is a good translation, so you should just go with the Michael Basker one, or do your own.  But if you're looking for something spicier, I'd recommend the Paullina Simons text.

Toodles,

AK

Hello all,

Could you please advice on an adequate translation of Mednyi Vsadnik?  I'm
planning to teach a survey of 19th century Russ lit and while I'm trying to
avoid as much poetry in translation as possible, this work seems to be too
seminal to miss.

Thank you,
Sasha.
