In the history of letters, Marina Tsvetaeva is one of the names that keeps being returned to.
The record lists Marina Tsvetaeva as Russian poet (1892 – 1941).
Marina Tsvetaeva was born at Moscow in 1892. Her recorded nationality is Russia. She was educated at University of Paris.
Around the turn of the twentieth century, literary form itself came under argument, and the certainties of the realist novel were dismantled.
She worked as poet, writer and diarist.
The writing is recorded in Russian and French.
Her work is classed as poetry and memoir.
A writer's real subject usually becomes visible only across the whole body of work.
That the work was written from Russia matters: language, censorship and the reach of a publishing industry decide which books travel and which stay local.
Marina Tsvetaeva died in 1941, aged 49. The books remain, which is the only durable form a writing life takes.
