While Tatiana Larina from \u003ci\u003eEugene Onegin\u003c\/i\u003e has received a significant degree of scholarly attention, his other heroines have not been studied in a systematic way. As a corrective, this book traces the development of Pushkin's heroines from his youthful Southern Poems to his last published work \u003ci\u003eThe Captain's Daughter, \u003c\/i\u003eplacing them within the context of the author's dominant genre models, focusing specifically on Byron, Shakespeare, and Scott, and his own life circumstances. The overarching purpose of this revisionist feminist study is to examine the ways in which Pushkin broadened the possibilities for heroines within his art and used the freedom he found in inhabiting the female frame to escape from the social norms that constrained Russian noblemen in order to puzzle through his own personal concerns.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Amanda F.
