Transcript	Russia's Gift to the World 17 criticism, who was powerful in moulding the great generation of Russian writers ; Solovev, a brilliant essayist and thinker ; and Yakovlev (better known by his material name of Herzen), a Christian Socialist whose influence was immense in directions that he neither desired nor foresaw, and who is known in literature by his brilliant Memoirs. Three more have been, in part, translated into English, and are better known: Chekhov, the literary descendant of Turgenev, who drew Russian middle- class life with great accuracy and also with a sense of humour ; Gorky, " the Russian Kipling," who introduced a fresh naturalism into Russian letters ; and Merezhkovsky, the author of powerful works ofjiistorical fiction. / In poetry likewise may be named Krylpv the fabulist, who, before Pushkin, gave the first impulse to national self-expression; Lermontov, a poet of the school of Byron, but with a lyrical gift akin to that of Shelley ; Koltsov, " the Russian Burns " ; the delicate and charming lyrics of Alexis Tolstoy ; and Nekrasov, the most popular in Russia of all their poets. Nekrasov might be compared to Longfellow in his simplicity and direct appeal to ordinary people ; but he is in the strongest contrast to Longfellow's cheerful serenity, for his poetry, in its uncompromising realism, is often bitter, and nearly always full of gloom. Yet this temper issued finally in enthusiasm for the people and faith in their ultimate victory. At the present time, as is natural and inevitable, Russian literature seems to be in a time of slack water after the period of the great writers. But it is full of the stirrings of fresh life. As in England, there is large and eager production, manifold experiment, belief in the power of literature to interpret life ; and this gives hope, in both countries, of a new birth and another great age.
