Elizabeth Bishop has been described as the 'best-loved' poet in English of the second half of the twentieth century. This book explores the published poems at the core of her remarkable canon of verse, along with her letters and other writings, and draws out key themes of the environment, balance, and ideas of love and loss.
This complete edition, which is the first outside Russia, of the correspondence between P. I. Tschaikovsky and the music-loving patron N. F. von Meck is an indispensable primary source on the composer's life and work as well as on his environment, while at the same time reflecting the political, cultural and social situation of the Russian Empire from the perspective of two privileged, educated and regime-loving subjects. Volume 3: Letters 1882-1890.
