This anthology aims to provide readers, particularly those who speak English, with a critical and biographical overview of important Russian authors and significant literary contributions that shape the evolution of Russian literature. It features representative excerpts that offer insight into the historical context and literary styles inherent in Russian works. The opening portion of the anthology begins with a preface that establishes the importance and growing interest in Russian literature within the context of Anglo-Saxon and Slavic relations. Wiener argues for the significance of understanding and appreciating Russian literary traditions, highlighting how Russian literature has largely been overlooked outside of translated works. He discusses the challenges faced by the Russian language and literature throughout history due to geographical and political barriers, as well as the influences from neighboring cultures. Furthermore, he outlines the goals of the anthology: to present a wide array of literary selections that reflect historical episodes and the unique evolution of Russian literature, from its ancient roots to contemporary expressions, thus inviting readers to engage with Russia's rich literary heritage.
