John Dewey's new biography — the first in English, and one of the most comprehensive to date in any language — has now been published by Brimstone Press.
Providing a long overdue introduction to this major figure, it tells the story of a fascinating life and personality as reflected in the poems, presented here in the author's own verse translations.
Written with the general reader in mind, the book also makes important new contributions in the field of Tyutchev studies.
For its account of Tyutchev's life it draws on an extensive range of sources, including much previously unpublished archival material. Datings, addressees and circumstances of composition are established for a number of the poems which have hitherto proved problematic in this respect.
Tyutchev's poems, and his relationship to the major intellectual and political movements of his age, are subjected to detailed analysis and reassessment.
