Critics Review
“Throughout his book, Stuart Goldberg presents thoughtful and convincing interpretations, engaging the complex dynamics of Mandelstam’s verse. His readings include new findings and explore issues that heretofore have not been explicated in such detail. Mandelstam, Blok, and the Boundaries of Mythopoetic Symbolism will be invaluable to Slavists and to readers concerned with psychoanalytic and literary theory, and with modernism in general.” –Irene Masing-Delic, professor of Slavic and East European Languages and Literatures, The Ohio State University
