>The four volumes of his painstaking attempts to clear up the poem
"Eugenie Onegin" by Pushkin for the English were a feat, however
useless. He did it by dissipating the poetical body into a desperate
amount of descriptive notes, and indeed made the origin so flat as if it
were no poem at all.

Who is writing this hogwash?
