Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Yakov Borisovich Knyazhnin was Russia''s foremost tragic author during the reign of Catherine the Great. Knyazhnin''s contemporaries hailed him as the true successor to his father-in-law Alexander Sumarokov, but posterity, in the words of Vladimir Nabokov , tended to view his tragedies and comedies as "awkwardly imitated from more or less worthless French models". Knyazhnin''s contemporary success rested largely on his witty comedies The Braggart (1786) and The Cranks (1790). The latter revolves around the theme of favouritism, of the unexpectedly quick rise in rank, which was topical in Catherine''s reign, and considered risqué. He also wrote six comic operas operas and eight tragedies, which, as D.S. Mirsky put it, "breathe an almost revolutionary spirit of political freethinking". Almost everything he wrote was immediately published by the decree of Catherine the Great. Most of his plays and operas were staged at the Hermitage Theatre in St Petersburg.
