Vicissitudes of Genre in the Russian Novel: Turgenev's Fathers and Sons, Chernyshevsky's What Is to Be Done?, Dostoevsky's Demons, Gorky's Mother

Russell Scott Valentino

3/5 ( ratings)

The 1860s witnessed one of the most vibrant periods in the history of modern Russian literature. This book focuses on what was arguably its most influential genre - the Russian tendentious novel. While tracing the genre's early development through works such as Fathers and Sons and Notes from Underground, it simultaneously unfolds a unique approach to reading late-nineteenth-century Russian literature by showing how rich conflicting interpretations of the classics continue to be possible and by indicating numerous deep-rooted connections between the tendentious novels of the nineteenth century and their twentieth-century literary progeny.
