New York: Manchester University Press / Barnes & Noble, ( 1965 ). First Edition. Hardcover. Fine/price-clipped dj. Duodecimo, 204 pages, cloth, rubberstamped on free endpaper; dj frayed at the edges ARC advance copy with review slip laid in. A bi-lingual edition. Contrary to appearances, DOCTOR ZHIVAGO is not a novel with an appendix of poems, but one whole thing, intricately interlocking; in which prose supports poetry and vice-versa ... Zhivago's poems are considered an optional appendix, or bonus, to something which can stand without them. ... Donald Davie has done two things: he has given us the first poet's version of the poems in English, and re-created the atmosphere and sense of the original Russian. Secondly, through notes on each poem designed to hang together in a continuous commentary, he has illuminated the form and significance of the novel as a whole.
