Autorenporträt
Isabel Florence Hapgood (1851–1928) was an esteemed American eclectist, translator, and writer known for her contributions to promoting Russian literature and Orthodoxy in the United States. Born in Boston, Massachusetts, Hapgood was recognized for her linguistic talents, mastering several languages that included French, Italian, and Russian. Her fascination with Russian culture and literature prompted her extensive travels to Russia, experiences from which she drew inspiration for her notable work, 'Russian Rambles' (1895). This book is a collection of insightful essays that provide Western readers with evocative descriptions of Russian society, traditions, and the literary scene of the late 19th century. Hapgood's literary style is marked by a keen observational quality and an engaging narrative voice, which enabled her to bring the textures of Russian daily life and the nuances of its culture to an English-speaking audience. Furthermore, Hapgood served as a bridge between Russian and American cultures not only through her travel writings but also through her translations of significant Russian literary figures such as Tolstoy, Dostoevsky, and Chekhov. Her efforts were instrumental in shaping the Anglophone world's understanding and appreciation of Russian literary arts. Hapgood's intellectual vigor and cross-cultural engagement have cemented her legacy as a vital conduit and interpreter of Russian literature and civilization.
