Über den Autor
Elaine Feinstein was educated at Newnham College, Cambridge. She has worked as a university lecturer, a subeditor, and a freelance journalist. She was made a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature in 1980. In 1990, she received a Cholmondeley Award for Poetry. Her versions of the poems of Marina Tsvetaeva - for which she received three translation awards from the Arts Council - were first published in 1971. Elaine Feinstein's Collected Poems and Translations (2002) was a Poetry Book Society Special Commendation. She died in September 2019. Marina Tsvetaeva was born in Moscow in 1891 and had established her reputation as a poet by the age of eighteen. She had a troubled life, in exile for many years: the only continuity was poetry and her loyalty to individual poets. Returning to Russia in 1939, her family was quickly torn apart by Stalin's purges: they were suspected of working against the Soviet government. When war came she was evacuated to Yelabuga, where she hanged herself in 1941.
