	Romanian literature. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001

	Osip Mandelshtam's Biography
		Mandelshtam's poetry divides easily into two major periods, the published collections (poems of 1908-25) and the unpublished notebooks (poems of 1930-37), preserved by his wife, Nadezhda Mandelshtam, until they could be printed abroad.
		As the early poetry is illuminated by the manifestoes and prose essays of the 1910s and early 1920s, so the later poetry reflects the prose of the later 1920s and 1930s.
		The poetry of the Notebooks is defined by a verbal texture richer and denser than the poetry of any previous Russian poet.

		Edwin Emmanuel Bradford (1860-1944), who wrote a series of books of verse, from Sonnets Songs & Ballads (1908) and Passing the Love of Women and Other Poems (1913) to Boyhood (1930);
		The erotic side of the relationship, explicit enough in the classical models, had to be kept to the subtlest minimum in the Uranians.
		The passion is judged fruitless, dangerous, frustrating, and the poet castigates himself for yielding to the boy's evanescent charms in full knowledge of its "immorality." The chasm between the boy-lover's inner self and the beliefs of an intolerant society could never be bridged.
