A fact from D. S. Mirsky appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 26 October 2005. The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that Vladimir Nabokov described D.S. Mirsky's book A History of Russian Literature : From Its Beginnings to 1900 as "the best history of Russian literature in any language, including Russian"?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2005/October.

Old talk

Is there any connection between D S Mirsky and Vera T Mirsky, whose memoir The Cup of Astonishment was published in 1944 (in England I think)?
