In a recent publication, Yale's Fiona Bell has introduced Avdotya Panaeva's novel "The Talnikov Family" to English-speaking audiences. The novel, originally published in 1848 and once banned, offers a vivid depiction of life in imperial Russia through the eyes of a young girl named Natasha. Panaeva, who moved in the same literary circles as Tolstoy and Dostoevsky, was known for her work with poet Nikolai Nekrasov.
