VLADISLAV FELITSIANOVICH KHODASEVICH (1886-1939)
Autograph manuscript in Russian, on lined paper, signed, 1926, 6pp, 4°, 'Zametka a Pushkine (A note about Pushkin)', an article arguing that Pushkin's Pora, moidrug is not an independent poem but a continuation of Kogda za gorodom, zadumchiv ya brozhu, with various amendments and editors marks (frayed at edges, rusting and slight loss around pin).

Specialist note

Khodasevich emigrated in 1922 and, although he continued to write poetry for which he had already acquired a reputation in Russia, he devoted more time to literary scholarship and criticism.
