First published in 1894, Aleksandra Smirnova-Rosset’s (1809-1882) “Notes” containing interesting information about Russian literary and court life, and Russian classic writers in their relations with Tsar Nicholas the First, were severely criticized by some historians as falsified by its compiler, the author`s daughter O. Smirnova, and highly appreciated by other readers for its religious and political tendencies. A. Osipova, an outstanding woman of St. Petersburg society, the empress`s maid of honor, a diplomat`s wife, was friends with many notable people of her time. This new edition presents the complete text of “Notes” and the genuine Smirnova-Rosset’s “Memoirs” on Zhukovskii, Pushkin and Gogol’. Name index.
