The article explores the engagement of Australian poet A. D. Hope with Russian literature and argues for its centrality in Hope's thinking in the last three decades of his poetry. The author discusses Hope's essays, epistolary correspondences, and the notebooks archived at the National Library of Australia to trace Hope's familiarity with the Russian language, his translation projects, and the Russian essays Hope includes in his book "The New Cratylus: Notes on the Craft of Poetry."
