Derzhavin: A Biography

Illustrations

Khodasevich prepared his book in the relatively constricted circumstances of exile from his native land—and from opportunities to richly illustrate the biography .The present volume offers a host of beautiful illustrations that complement Derzhavin’s life and times—a set of engravings and drawings that enhance the biography. I trust that Khodasevich would have approved.
