Ivan Alexandrovich Goncharov (1812-1891) was one of the leading
members of the great circle of Russian writers who, in the middle
of the nineteenth century, gathered around the Sovremmenik
(Contemporary) under Nekrasov's editorship-a circle including
Turgenev, Dostoyevsky, Tolstoy, Byelinsky, and Herzen. He had not
the marked genius of the first three of these; but that he is so
much less known to the western reader is perhaps also due to the
fact that there was nothing sensational either in his life or his
literary method. His strength was in the steady delineation of
character, conscious of, but not deeply disturbed by, the problems
which were obsessing and distracting smaller and greater minds.
