MANDEL'SHTAM, Osip Emil’evich (1891-1938). O poezii. Sbornik statei [On poetry. A collection of essays]. Leningrad: Academia, 1928. First edition of Mandel'shtam's last book , distilling his aesthetics in a series of essays on poetry and art. The author ‘regarded the period during which he wrote these articles (1922–26) as the worst in his life. It was a period of decline, and in repudiating it altogether, M. took no account of the many good and genuine things he wrote at that time – notably the passages in a number of articles where he attacks the general tendency toward stagnation’ (Nadezhda Mandelstam, Hope against Hope , p.176). Small octavo (186 x 129mm). Original pink printed wrappers (light wear to spine, a couple of small stains to front cover); in a folding cloth box. Provenance : contemporary note to title.
