Dostoevsky: An Examination of the Major Novels

by Richard Arthur Peace, Fyodor Dostoevsky (Subject/Contributor)

This is a critical introduction to Dostoyevsky's work. Professor Peace concentrates on the four major novels, Crime and Punishment, The Idiot, The Devils and The Brothers Karamazov. He analyses them in detail, paying particular attention to theme, interprets complexities of structure and characterisation, and defines Dostoyevsky's literary achievement. His arguments are reinforced by extensive quotation in English.
