Turgenev in English: A Checklist of Works by and about Him

by Rissa Yachnin, David H. Stam

About the author

Available sources identify Rissa Yachnin as a compiler and co-creator of Turgenev in English: A Checklist of Works By and About Him, published by The New York Public Library in 1962 with David H. Stam. The book is a bibliography focused on Ivan Turgenev and the body of English-language writing by and about him.

That kind of work is quiet but important: bibliographies help scholars, students, and librarians trace editions, criticism, and translation history. In Yachnin's case, the surviving public record located here is limited, so a fuller personal biography could not be confirmed from reliable online sources during this search.
