L. Ia. Ginzburg: An International Chronological Bibliography of Primary and Secondary Works

Abstract

Lidiia Iakovlevna Ginzburg (1902-90) has long been known to Western Slavists for her pathbreaking contributions to literary history and poetics, most notably O lirike (1964, 1974), 0 psikhologicheskoi proze (1971, 1977), and O literaturnom geroe (1979). More recently, she has received admiring attention for her own artistic efforts, in particular her quasi-fictional treatment of the Leningrad blockade, Zapiski blokadnogo cheloveka (1984, 1991), and the notebooks (zapisi) of observations, reflections, and portraits she kept from 1925 and published in the last decade of her life in various periodicals and in O starom i novom (1982), Literatura v poiskakh real'nosti (1987), Chelovek za pis'mennym stolom (1989), and Pretvorenie opyta (1991). But what is not so well known in the West (and perhaps even in Ginzburg's homeland) is the extraordinary richness of the rest of her legacy, which, not counting translations into several European languages, consists of three more books (Section 1), over one hundred articles and other shorter pieces (Section 2), and some twelve editions of standard Russian authors (Section 3). The bibliography offered here, spanning her career as a scholar, critic, text editor, and prose writer from 1924 until 1990 and including both posthumous and secondary works (Section 4), is intended to make that legacy and its biographical and historical contours at once clearer and more accessible.
