Books By Boris Pasternak, Angela Livingstone - Author

After obtaining a first-class honours B.A. in Russian and German at Cambridge University (later also a Cambridge Ph.D), I wrote one book on a German literature topic (Lou Andreas-Salome, Her Life and Writings), then went on to focus on Russian literature of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. As a researcher I have specialized mainly in the work of Boris Pasternak, Marina Tsvetaeva and Andrei Platonov. For more than thirty years I taught in the Department of Literature at the University of Essex, Colchester, U.K. with which, now retired, I am still closely affiliated, holding the title of Research Professor.
