520    Konstantin Batyushkov was one of the great poets of the 
       Golden Age of Russian literature in the early nineteenth 
       century. His verses, famous for their musicality, earned 
       him the admiration of Alexander Pushkin and generations of
       Russian poets to come. In Writings from the Golden Age of 
       Russian Poetry, Peter France interweaves Batyushkov's life
       and writings, presenting masterful new translations of his
       work with the compelling story of Batyushkov's career as a
       soldier, diplomat, and poet and his tragic decline into 
       mental illness at the age of thirty-four. Little known 
       among non-Russian readers, Batyushkov left a varied body 
       of writing, both in verse and in prose, as well as 
       memorable letters to friends. France nests a substantial 
       selection of his sprightly epistles on love, friendship, 
       and social life, his often tragic elegies, and extracts 
       from his essays and letters within episodes of his 
       remarkable life'particularly appropriate for a poet whose 
       motto was 'write as you live, and live as you write.' 
       Batyushkov's writing reflects the transition from the 
       urbane sociability of the Enlightenment to the rebellious 
       sensibility of Pushkin and Lermontov; it spans the 
       Napoleonic Wars and the rapid social and literary change 
       from Catherine the Great to Nicholas I. Presenting 
       Batyushkov's poetry of feeling and wit alongside his 
       troubled life, Writings from the Golden Age of Russian 
       Poetry makes his verse accessible to English-speaking 
       readers in a necessary exploration of this transitional 
       moment for Russian literature.
