| Description: |
First English translation of Tsvetyaeva's crowning achievement in verse drama (1927), written during a period of intense communication with Pasternak and Rilke. Its high-voltage trio of central female characters and shimmering variations of rhythm and assonance make this an outstanding poetic treatment of the Phaedra legend. |
| Synopsis: |
Marina Tsvetaeva's verse drama Phaedra, completed in 1927, is the most extraordinary of all literary treatments of the Phaedra legend. Angela Livingstone has translated this little-known great work for the first time into English. Three long poems written at the same time as Phaedra connect, in their depth of thought and feeling, with Tsvetaeva's intense epistolary relationships with Pasternak and Rilke, and fascinatingly fill out the themes and preoccupations of the drama. |
