In 1833 Alexander Pushkin began to explore the topic of madness, a subject little explored in Russian literature before his time. The works he produced on the theme are three of his greatest masterpieces: the prose novella The Queen of Spades, the narrative poem The Bronze Horseman, and the lyric God Grant That I Not Lose My Mind. Gary Rosenshield presents a new interpretation of Pushkin's genius through an examination of his various representations of madness.
