Dear SEELANGers,
I am writing a thesis on how Walt Whitman's poetry was translated
by six different Russian poets during the Twentieth Century. Since a
historical perspective is an important dimension of my commentary,
I am attributing dates to specific translations under discussion
wherever possible. Unfortunately, there are a few poems published
in one collection of Russian Whitman translations (publisher
"Khudozhestvennaya Literatura," Moscow, 1970) that I have not
found anywhere else. The 1970 edition lists no information about
when its contents were first composed or published. Does anyone
have ideas about how I can track down this information, including
reliable ways to contact the publisher? (I have found out that they
have no e-mail.) Any leads on this fact-finding mission will be much
appreciated!

P.S. I am sending this note to more than one list, so I apologize in
advance for any unwelcome multiple appearances.
