From this definition, broad enough by his own admission sometimes to see "stretched absurdly far," he launches into a brilliant discussion, under seven class...

|  | Akhmatova's Petersburg
Publication Date: May 1983In the poetry of Anna Akhmatova the 19th century myth of Petersburg, the accursed, unreal city, is filtered through the vision of a poet born in Imperial Russia and destined to confront the terrors of Soviet rule.
