The Epic Songs of Russia (Classic Reprint) by Isabel Florence Hapgood PDF Summary

Book Description: Excerpt from The Epic Songs of Russia These translations from the wonderful fragments of the Russian epic poetry of the Middle Ages were originally published thirty years ago. The time was too early. In the West, dense ignorance of Russia still prevailed. She was thought of, not as a nation with a great historic past and a still vaster outlook towards the future, but as a mere shapeless mass with no intelligible history and in no vital relation either to the rest of Europe or to the movement of the civilized world. The Epic Songs found no large audience either in America or in England; and in England, at least, they have for many years been inaccessible. Yet to the few who appreciated it, the volume came as a precious gift, and little short of a new revelation. Like another work which, by an interesting coincidence, appeared within the same year. Sir Charles Lyall's Ancient Arabian Poetry, it made an epoch; it opened out an undiscovered realm of poetic imagination and achievement. A better and larger understanding, both of Russia and of those Middle Ages out of which, in Russia as elsewhere, the modern world was born, now may - and surely will - secure to the Epic Songs something like the admiration and acceptance that they deserve.
