The novel in verse Eugene Onegin, by Aleksandr Pushkin (1799-1837), was begun in 1823 and completed in 1831. It came out in parts between February, 1825, and January, 1832; this accumulation of eight chapters (the first two of which are represented by two editions of their own) is considered to form a "first" edition. A complete edition in one volume ("second" edition) appeared in March, 1833, and was followed by the editio optima ("third" edition) of January, 1837, published less than a month before Pushkin's fatal duel.
