1904rif. 6032Second Russian edition of the poem. First edition of this translation. The first translation of Oscar Wilde's 'Ballad' by N. Korn presumably a pen name used by Korney Chukovsky appeared in 1903 but it was riddled with errors. The following year another version by Konstantin Balmont 1867–1942 a Russian symbolist poet and translator was published. In the summer of 1902 Balmont traveled to England and visited the town of Reading where Wilde had been imprisoned. In November 1903 Balmont delivered a lecture titled 'Oscar Wilde's Poetry and The Ballad.' and presented his translation at a meeting of the Literary-Artistic Circle in Moscow. During his lecture he likened Wilde to Nietzsche and hailed him as 'the greatest English writer of the end of the last century'. Balmont also prepared translations of works by Edgar Allan Poe Percy Bysshe Shelley Walt Whitman and Robert Burns. His translations were always infused with his own distinctive style often referred to as 'Balmontic motifs'. The book's cover featuring a portrait of Oscar Wilde was created by Modest Durnov 1867–1928 a painter poet architect and a close friend of Balmont. Durnov was known as 'a demon' a 'master of thought' and a 'Moscow Dandy'. According to some accounts he met Wilde during one of his trips to London. This book was once part of the private library of Russian artist Mikhail Tarkhanov 1888–1962 a renowned master of endpapers and bookbinding. Tarkhanov received his education at the Stroganov School for Technical Drawing which later became VKhUTEMAS under the guidance of Vladimir Favorsky and Wassily Kandinsky.
