"“Olga Peters Hasty clarifies as never before the substance of Tsvetaeva’s romanticism—a philosophical concern with poetry as a bridge to a higher realm of experience, and a typological style of thinking inspired by folklore and myth. The book thus renders a double service to Tsvetaeva scholarship, both illuminating Tsvetaeva’s creative philosophy and helping to define her place in the romantic tradition . . . Hasty has traced the logic of Tsvetaeva’s thinking with impressive nuance and clarity.” —Catherine Ciepiela, Slavic Review ""Olga Peters Hasty's recent book is a rare treat: articulate, learned, and sensitive . . . Hasty's admirable talent—obviously informed by a keen poetic ear and a penetrating knowledge of the Russian language—for uncovering unexpected paranomastic echoes and shimmering linguistic ambiguities in her close readings of Tsvetaeva's poetry is [an] indubitable merit of her work."" —Alyssa W. Dinega, The Slavic and East European Journal"

In Tsevtaeva's Orphic Journeys, Olga Peters Hasty traces the complex logic of Tsvetaeva's thinking about poetry as expressed through her poetic treatment of the Orpheus myth. In the process, hasty clarifies as never before the substance of Tsvetaeva's romanticism - a philosophical concern with poetry as a bridge to a higher realm of experience, and a typological style of thinking inspired by folklore and myth. The book thus renders a double service to Tsvetaeva scholarship, both illuminating Tsvetaeva's creative philosophy and helping to define her place in the romantic tradition . . . Hasty has traced the logic of Tsvetaeva's thinking with impressive nuance and clarity. - Catherine Ciepiela, Slavic Review
