Burning Queston: Russian Gothics? - Bellatrix Lestrange - 12-09-2011 Hello All im reading Anna Karenina at the moment, absolutely loving it, and im wondering if it's considered gothic? probably not, but im just curious. on that note, are there any russian gothic classics? it would be fun to track down the english translations! Yours Faithfully Bellatrix RE: Burning Queston: Russian Gothics? - Einsamer Krieger - 12-12-2011 In fact, there is no definite russian classics authors which you can classify as Gothic like Radcliffe or Poe, because of many reasons. There are few classic novels and poetry which Goths prefer amongst others. I think you would like to check this author, from russian poets he is the best by my personal opinion - his poetry is very uncommon and unique, many of his poetry can be classified as Gothic. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nikolay_Gumilyov RE: Burning Queston: Russian Gothics? - Bellatrix Lestrange - 12-12-2011 (12-12-2011, 02:43 PM)Einsamer Krieger Wrote: In fact, there is no definite russian classics authors which you can classify as Gothic like Radcliffe or Poe, because of many reasons.
