Märksõnad:
Persuasively argues for including the original, 1825 version of the play Boris Godunov (later eclipsed by the “politically correct” edition) in the canon of Pushkin’s works. Includes the 1825 Russian text and the only English translation of that version.  “Underpinning the detailed scholarship in The Uncensored Boris Godunov is the same deep comprehension of all that is in play, and at stake, in Pushkin’s aesthetic negotiations between historical circumstance, political power and the freedom of the creative imagination.”—Rachel Polonsky, Times Literary Supplement  “Antony Wood’s translation is fluent and idiomatic; analyses by Dunning et al. are incisive; and the ‘case’ they make is skillfully argued. . . . Highly recommended.”—Choice

Arvustused

The Uncensored Boris Godunov is a work of vivid and meticulous scholarly excavation which invites a radical reconsideration of the established Pushkin canon.... A collective of distinguished American and Russian researchers leads us back through the vagaries of the play's reception towards a long-buried but still glowing literary-historical treasure: the original version of Pushkin's Comedy about Tsar Boris and Grishka Otrepiev (1825), transcribed by Sergei Fomichev from the poet's manuscript, and translated into free-moving blank verse with brilliance and discerning fidelity by Antony Wood. - Rachel Polonsky, Times Literary Supplement ""Boris Godunov is the most fascinating and problematic of all Pushkin's texts. The story of The Uncensored Boris Godunov is really a kind of detective novel: why the earlier draft has not been preferred by Pushkin scholars, why perhaps it should be, and how history proper and literary history in particular have clouded the issue of what could have been the definitive text."" - David M. Bethea, Vilas Research Professor in the Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures, University of Wisconsin - Madison
