8vo (148 x 198 mm), 1-62, 63a, 63-131 leaves; typescript text to rectos only, numbering and occasional Roman alphabet in manuscript; clean and crisp, a fine example, bound in green buckram.A rare samizdat of Joseph Brodsky's poems, prepared in typescript for clandestine circulation in the Soviet Union at a time when his works could not be published or circulated there. The typescript comprises two collections: New stanzas to Augusta, dedicated to Marina Basmanova, with whom Brodsky had a son, Andrei; and Twenty sonnets to Maria Stuart, written by Brodsky in 1974 and published by Ardis in Ann Arbor in 1977 within the collection Chast' rechi [A part of Speech]. The twenty sonnets were published again with New stanzas to Augusta in 1983, presumably the basis for the present samizdat. New stanzas to Augusta was first published in Russia by the Pushkinski Fond in St Petersburg in 2000.Brodsky's love poems to Marina Basmanova 'stand apart for their elliptical evocations of the entire cultural tradition of love poetry. Many of Brodsky's poems engage in philosophical speculation on the nature of human intimacy, and they indulge psychological theories about love's failures. Brodsky's cycle 'Twenty Sonnets to Maria Stuart' (1974) had perhaps the greatest resonance among later poets' (Dobrenko and Balina, The Cambridge Companion to Twentieth-Century Russian Literature, p. 125).Brodsky's name appeared in the preface to the KGB's list of those to be kept under intelligence by GlavLit. Due to the blanket ban on Brodsky's writing, which was being published abroad, his work was only available in samizdat; in a state where the printed text and its circulation were kept tightly regulated, and material printed without the censor's permission number was open to anti-Soviet interpretation, possessing samizdat could make one liable to prosecution under criminal law both for manufacture and distribution of anti-Soviet propaganda. The ban on Brodsky's writing was not lifted until 1988.All works - Blium 89. Language: Russian.
