Books by Karolina Pavlova

Karolina Pavlova, born Karolina Jaenisch in 1807, was a Russian poet and translator and presided over a famous Moscow literary salon. She died in Dresden in 1893, having abandoned Russia not because of tsarist oppression but because of hostile criticism of her poetry and her personal life. A Double Life is her major work.

Barbara Heldt is professor emerita of Russian at the University of British Columbia. Her books include Koz'ma Prutkov: The Art of Parody (1973) and Terrible Perfection: Women and Russian Literature (1987).
