Yevgeny Grebyonka is remembered for writing that changed what came after it.
The record lists Yevgeny Grebyonka as Russian and Ukrainian poet (1812-1848).
Yevgeny Grebyonka was born at Marianivka in 1812. His recorded nationality is Russia. He was educated at Nizhyn Gogol State 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 poet, writer and translator.
The writing is recorded in Russian.
His work is classed as poetry, verse and fable.
Reputation in letters is unusually volatile: writers are forgotten for a generation and then recovered by one.
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.
Yevgeny Grebyonka died in 1848, aged 36. The books remain, which is the only durable form a writing life takes.
