Reviews

Excellent and very substantive. - Mikhail Leonovich Gasparov, Russian Academy of Sciences ""Russia's Rome gives a new and significant context to the work of some of Russia's major poets and prose writers of the early twentieth century. Kalb's main contribution is to show that the interest in the Roman Empire was not an incidental part of Russian literature in this period, but a genuine obsession."" - Michael Wachtel, Princeton University
