Klyuev (1884-1937) rose to prominence in the early twentieth century as the first of the so-called \"new peasant poets\" but later fell victim to Stalinist hostility to both his cultural ideology and his homosexuality. He was arrested and exiled in 1933, then shot in 1937. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Klyuev's work incorporates rich elements of folklore, mysticism, politics, and religion, and he sometimes invokes arcane Russian syntax and vocabulary. Makin's feat is particularly notable because Klyuev was often elusive in his own accounts of his life, and Makin successfully brings into focus the poet's deliberate strategies of self-mythologization. \u003ci\u003eNikolai Klyuev\u003c\/i\u003e is an indispensable guide to the life and the work of an important poet winning wider recognition outside of Russia.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Makin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0810134837\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780810134836\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Northwestern University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/15\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 416\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 1.00d","brand":"Michael Makin","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48448976912639,"sku":"9780810134836","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5c428a9d-e3b6-4575-a1d1-968963c4e61c.jpg?v=1777261417","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/nikolai-klyuev-michael-makin-9780810134836","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
