Pyotr Vyazemsky wrote at a period when the terms of literature itself were being argued over.
The record lists Pyotr Vyazemsky as leading personality of the Golden Age of Russian poetry (1792–1878).
Pyotr Vyazemsky was born at Moscow in 1792. His recorded nationality is Russia.
The eighteenth century built the literary marketplace - periodicals, subscription publishing, and readers who paid.
He worked as poet, translator and linguist.
The writing is recorded in Russian.
His work is classed as epigram, satire and biography.
Books outlive their reviews, and the ones that last are seldom the ones that sold best.
The honours record reads: Order of Saint Anna, 1st class, Order of Saint Anna, 2nd class, Order of the White Eagle and Order of Saint Stanislaus, 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.
Pyotr Vyazemsky died in 1878, aged 86. The books remain, which is the only durable form a writing life takes.
