forgotten superstars

[Vadim Besprozvanny]

Actually Zagoskin is important for understanding some topics on Pushkin and
Gogol', as well as 19th century historical prose. Recently there was an
abundance of his Russian editions (incl. a nice 2 vol. collection). So for
those who are  studying Rus. Lit. or deeply interested in it, he is very
important. But if you're talking about an "average" reader (quite obscure
category, isn't it), we can add the whole 18th century, a great deal of
19th cent., etc.I'm not sure that Lermontov still in fashion or Pushkin is
familiar beyond the limits of school program. It's much easier to say with
some approximation who are "in fashion" :)


Best regards,

VB
