Dostoevsky and Tolstoy are the titans of Russian literature. As
mature artists, they led very different lives and wrote vastly
different works, but their early lives and writings display
provocative kinships, while also indicating the divergent paths the
two authors would take en route to literary greatness. The ten new
critical essays here, written by leading specialists in
nineteenth-century, Russian literature, give fresh, sophisticated
readings to works from the first decade of the literary life of
each Russian author-for Dostoevsky, the 1840s; for Tolstoy, the
1850s. Collectively, these essays yield composite portraits of
these two artists as young men finding their literary way. At the
same time, they show how the early works merit appreciation for
themselves, before their authors were Titans. Contributors:
