Pavel Ivanovich Melnikov wrote at a period when the terms of literature itself were being argued over.
The record lists Pavel Ivanovich Melnikov as Russian writer (1818-1883).
Pavel Ivanovich Melnikov was born at Nizhny Novgorod in 1818. His recorded nationality is Russia. He was educated at Kazan Federal University.
The nineteenth century was the age of the serialised novel and mass literacy; writers reached audiences of a size never seen before.
He worked as writer, novelist and school teacher.
The writing is recorded in Russian.
His work is classed as sketch story.
His best-known work is In the Forests. Books outlive their reviews, and the ones that last are seldom the ones that sold best.
The honours record reads: Order of Saint Anna, 3rd class, Order of St. Vladimir, 4th class, Order of Saint Stanislaus, 1st class and Order of Saint Anna, 1st class.
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.
Pavel Ivanovich Melnikov died in 1883, aged 65. The books remain, which is the only durable form a writing life takes.
