The Republic of Letters

The Republic of Letters was a publishing endeavor by George Routledge & Sons in the mid-1920s in London. Edited by William Rose, this series of books focused on interesting and significant poets, dramatists and novelists. In addition to containing biographical information, the books also included psychological and social background information of the writer’s own time. Certain volumes include "Voltaire" by Richard Aldington, "Pushkin" by Prince D.S. Mirsky, and "Gogol" by Janko Lavrin.
