Robert Reid, David Powelstock,
Mikhail Lermontov (1814-1841) is one of Russia's most prominent poets - and one of its most puzzling. In this radically new interpretation, David Powelstock reveals how the seeming contradictions in Lermontov's life and works can be understood as manifestations of a coherent worldview. By bringing to light Lermontov's operative version of Romantic individualism, Powelstock is able to make sense of the poet's relationship to romantic irony, his highly modern concept of the reader (both real, and implied ...

Dr Ferm accepts that these factors are involved, but she goes on to show that the chief factor driving changes in verbal government is not the nature of the complements but changes in the semantics of the verbs which govern them. Thus, when Ha?eflTbCfl ceased to govern a genitive and took instead the preposition Ha plus an accusative, it was because HaAeflTbCfl had ceased to be associated with such verbs of expectation as 03KH.zja. ...
