Biography

Born in the family of the famous Soviet lawyer Professor Yakov Mironovich Magaziner [ru] (1882-1961) and his wife Lydia Mikhailovna.

In 1937 she graduated from the Leningrad State University, finishing the courses of two sections - linguistic and literary, and was a disciple of Professors Mikhail P. Alexeyev [ru] and Viktor M. Zhirmunsky. In 1936 she married the Orientalist scholar Igor M. Dyakonov. In 1943, in the World War II evacuation from besieged Leningrad to a small town of Kyshtym, she defended her Candidate of Sciences thesis «Китс и поэты Возрождения» ("Keats and Renaissance Poets"). Since 1944 she was an assistant professor, then a full professor at the History of Foreign Literatures Department at the Faculty/School of Philology of Leningrad State University. In 1966 she defended her doctoral dissertation "Лондонские романтики и проблемы английского романтизма» ("London Romantics and the Problems of English Romanticism"), dedicated to the works of Hazlitt, Ch.Lamb, Lee Hunt and other "Londoners." Long-term friendship associated N. Ya. Dyakonova with Ye. G. Etkind and F. A. Vigdorova.
