Turgenev in English: A Checklist of Works by and about Him
TURGENEV IN ENGLISH
Ivan Turgenev
Compiled by RISSA YACHNIN and DAVID H. STAM With an Introductory Essay by MARC SLONIM New York The New York Public Library 1962
This checklist was originally intended as a tribute to the memory of Ivan Sergeyevich Turgenev (1818–1883) on the seventy-fifth anniversary of his death. The first section takes account of all works by Turgenev published in English translation, including collected editions, selections, and individually published works. The collected editions are arranged chronologically while the selections and individually published works are arranged alphabetically by English title. A second section lists stories, prose poems, and other works of Turgenev which were published in anthologies and periodicals. These are arranged alphabetically by the titles under which they were published, with individual stories and prose poems from A Sportsman’s Notebook and Poems in Prose being brought together under those titles. The checklist concludes with a large section dealing with Turgenev criticism in English, arranged chronologically.
Encyclopedia entries, brief notes, theatrical notices, adaptations from Turgenev, and other trivia have as a rule not been included. No special effort has been made to locate book reviews published after 1904, when publication of the Hapgood translation of the collected works was completed. Book reviews published before that time have been included as separate entries in the chronological listing of Turgenev criticism, thus giving an approximate idea of the progress of Turgenev studies in the nineteenth-century Anglo-Saxon world.
Most entries have been personally examined. In addition to checking entries for Turgenev in the National Union Catalog and in the printed catalogs of the Library of Congress, the Slavonic Division of The New York Public Library, and the British Museum, the compilers have also searched through the collections of Princeton, Harvard, and Columbia universities.
