Marina Tsvetaeva |
 | | Tsvetaeva blended elements from Orthodox prayers and folklore with modernist idiom, and often sought inspiration from the 18th century and the (Russian) romantic age, from which she adopted the idea of the poet as a rebel or an outcast: "We are poets, which has the sound of outcast," she once wrote. |
| | Molodets (the swain), completed in Czechoslovakia in the late 1922, was her second fairy tale in verse and was widely reviewed by the émigré press. |
| | Tsvetaeva and Natal'ia Goncharova, who drew illustrations for it, tried in vain to publish the work in French. |
