Tolstoy's fame as one of the world's greatest novelists has never
been in doubt, but the importance of his views on the social, moral
and religious issues of his time is not so widely recognised. This
study, first published in 1973, presents an introduction to the
historical and cultural background of Tolstoy's lifetime, then
going on to consider the major events of his developing personality
as a writer and reformer. As well as considering the famous novels
and literary criticism, Simmons treats his educational theories and
practice, famine relief work, spiritual crises and religious,
social and moral beliefs, as reflected in controversial writings
such as What I Believe, What Then Must We Do? and The Kingdom of
God Is Within You. He also investigates Tolstoy's involvement in
government, war and revolution, and the relevance of his reformist
views in the contemporary world.
