biographical sources of Pushkin's love life

[Wieda, Nina A.]

Dear Pushkin scholars,

A student of mine is exploring auto-biographical elements in Pushkin's "The Stone Guest," and is looking for biographical sources that provide historically accurate insight into Pushkin's romantic life.  In particular, he is interested to learn about Pushkin's affairs with married women, and duels with cuckolded husbands.  The student does not read in Russian well enough to handle Guber's "Донжуанский список Пушкина."  Can you recommend any English-language sources that highlight this area of Pushkin's life?

Thank you very much in advance!

Best wishes,

Nina Wieda
