About the author

Nikolay Alexeyevich Nekrasov (Николай Алексеевич Некрасов) was a Russian poet, writer, critic and publisher, whose deeply compassionate poems about peasant Russia won him Dostoevsky's admiration and made him the hero of liberal and radical circles of Russian intelligentsia, as represented by Vissarion Belinsky and Nikolai Chernyshevsky. He is credited with introducing into Russian poetry ternary meters and the technique of dramatic monologue (V doroge, 1845).As the editor of several literary journals, including Sovremennik, Nekrasov was also singularly successful.
