Spanning the turbulent decades between 1804 and 1869, the work reconstructs the social, intellectual, and cultural milieu of nineteenth-century Russia, situating Odoyevsky firmly within the grand tradition of the Russian intelligentsia, from his early association with the Wisdom-Lovers (Lyubomudry) to his influential role in shaping Russian literary and musical culture.\n\nCornwell argues with scholarly precision that Odoyevsky has long been an unjustly overlooked figure, and this biography corrects that historical omission with commanding authority, drawing on a wealth of archival and literary sources to illuminate a mind of extraordinary range. The writing is disciplined yet evocative, balancing biographical narrative with incisive literary analysis in a manner that will reward both specialist and general reader alike. A portrait of a restless, searching intelligence caught between two epochs, this study leaves one wondering how many more such vital figures remain obscured in the long shadows of literary history.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49130931749083,"sku":"2026100008632-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/98549010-8375-4768-9da2-1d1dbcfab30d.png?v=1786592642","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100008632-secondhand-the-life-times-and-milieu-of-v-f-odoyevsky-1804-1869","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
