Alexander Pushkin

Eugene Onegin is the master work of the poet whom Russians regard as the fountainhead of their literature. Set in 1820s imperial Russia, Pushkin's novel in verse follows the emotions and destiny of three men - Onegin the bored fop, Lensky the minor elegiast, and a stylized Pushkin himself - and the fates and affections of three women - Tatyana the provincial beauty, her sister Olga, and Pushkin's mercurial Muse. Engaging, full of suspense, and varied in tone, it also portrays a large cast of other characters and offers the reader many literary, philosophical, and autobiographical digressions, often in a highly satirical vein. Eugene Onegin was Pushkin's own favourite work, and it shows him attempting to transform himself from a romantic poet into a realistic novelist. This new translation seeks to retain both the literal sense and the poetic music of the original, and capture the poem's spontaneity and wit. The introduction examines several ways of reading the novel, and text is richly annotated.

Eugene Onegin, a narrative poem by Alexander Pushkin, is often regarded as his greatest work and a landmark of Russian literature. Written intermittently from 1823 to 1831, the poem is considered a masterpiece for its insightful portrayal of Russian society and its timeless depiction of love, regret, and the clash of characters and ideals. Pushkin’s creation of Tatyana, the heroine, is especially notable, as she is viewed as the precursor to many of the compelling Russian women that would later appear in works by writers such as Turgenev, Dostoyevsky, and Tolstoy. This enduring legacy has made Eugene Onegin an essential text for students of Russian literature. The current translation draws heavily on Professor Patrick’s meticulous prose version, which was carefully reviewed for accuracy. While earlier English translations have existed, such as Lieutenant-Colonel Spalding’s 1881 edition, this translation aims to preserve the natural flow and grace of Pushkin's original. Pushkin’s rhyme scheme, which follows a distinctive fourteen-line stanza with a specific rhyme pattern, has been adapted here to fit English while maintaining its musicality. The diction is intentionally informal to match Pushkin’s ease of expression, with slight adjustments made for cultural nuances, especially in the portrayal of Tatyana’s courageous declarations of love. This version also integrates Pushkin’s original notes and helpful commentary to ensure readers can fully appreciate the depth of the poem.

The aristocratic Yevgeny Onegin has come into his inheritance, leaving the glamour of St Petersburg's social life to take up residence at his uncle's country estate. Master of the nonchalant bow, the aristocratic Onegin is the very model of a social butterfly - a fickle dandy, liked by all for his wit and easy ways. When the shy and passionate Tatyana falls in love with him, Onegin condescendingly rejects her, and instead diverts himself by flirting with her sister, Olga - with terrible consequences.
