# Mikhail Lermontov

> He inherited the throne of Russian poetry at twenty-three when Pushkin fell in a duel, then died the same way six years later. Between those brackets Lermontov laid the foundation for the Russian psychological novel and earned the label "poet of the Caucasus" for work so sharp it twice got him exiled.

## Bio

Lermontov grew up in Tarkhany under his grandmother's strict control, sickly with scrofula and rickets, educated at home in languages, music, and painting — conditions that made him lonely and introspective. By 1829 he was writing poetry in Moscow, influenced by Pushkin and Byron, and traveling to the Caucasus for his health, landscapes that marked him permanently. In 1832 he moved to Saint Petersburg for cavalry school and joined the Life-Guard Hussars, where his sharp wit made enemies as fast as his pen made pages. His poem "Death of the Poet," written after Pushkin's death in 1837, brought fame and immediate exile to the Caucasus for its controversial edge. That exile fed A Hero of Our Time and some of his finest work, but his rebellious streak and another duel sent him back a second time. In 1841, fellow officer Nikolai Martynov shot him dead in a duel at twenty-six.
