Допушкинская русская поэзия

[freiburg234.livejournal.com]

Dear Community,

Could you please help me translate the below Russian text into a coherent English sentence?

"В допушкинских поэтах есть все, что дает место в мировой литературе русским именам."

Here's my translation attempt:

Pre-Pushkin poets provide everything that gives room to Russian names in world literature.

Thank you for your kind input.

UPDATE: Thank you for your input. I've settled for the following version:

The works of pre-Pushkin poets already contain all the elements that later enable Russian names to gain reknown in world literature.

Actually, the sentence in Russian itself sounds a bit incoherent.
My guess would be something like:
"There already is everything in [the works of] poets predating Pushkin that makes place for Russian names in the world literature."
Still looks awkward, I admit it.
What makes your translation look maybe a bit clumsy is the absence of articles and a "russian" feel to it.

+1.

But maybe it's better to say "there's already"?

"Room" isn't correct here.
It would be better to use "slot" or "niche".

And the word "provide" too. Not only because of russian but because of english too. It's much better to use "produce".

That's about right, as it seems.

"Renown", isn't it?
