The History of Russian Literature (Second Half of the 19th Century)

This book takes a new point of view on Russian 19th century literature. It does not contain detailed biographical information nor a review of individual writer’s entire oeuvre. The author sacrificed this for the sake of creating an integral picture of Russian literature in the development of its basic ideas and meanings. The unity of literature is formed by linking writers — their consent and controversy, which is given special attention in the manual, allowing to show literature as a forum. The work analyzes best works such as ‘War and Peace’, ‘The Brothers Karamazov’, ‘A Dreary Story ‘, etc.

For students of humanitarian universities and faculties where Russian literature is studied, and everyone interested in the work of Russian writers and poets.
