Russian poet, playwright and novelist of the Romantic era, Alexander Sergeyevich Pushkin (1799 - 1837), was exiled by Emperor Alexander I. Isolated from his close friends and literary circle, he recalled the written experiences of exile of Roman poet Ovid (43 BC - 18 AD), who was exiled from Rome. This book presents a close reading of Ovid and Pushkin's exilic outputs, looking at their geographic displacement and the influence it had, psychologically and otherwise, on works such as Eugene Onegin. © Frances Forbes-Carbines 2026
