Choice Outstanding Academic Title 2014 Transnational Tolstoy renews
and enhances our understanding of Tolstoy's fiction in the context
of "World Literature," a term that he himself used in What is Art?
(1897). It offers a fresh perspective on Tolstoy's fiction as it
connects with writers and works from outside his Russian context,
including Stendhal, Flaubert, Goethe, Proust, Lampedusa and
Mahfouz. Foster provides an interlocking series of cross-cultural
readings ranging from nineteenth-century Germany, France, and Italy
through the rise of modernist fiction and the crisis of World War
II, to the growth of a worldwide literary outlook from 1960 onward.
He emphasizes Tolstoy's writings with the most consistent
international resonance: War and Peace and Anna Karenina, two of
the world's most compelling novels. Transnational Tolstoy also
discusses a shorter work, Hadji Murad. It shares the earlier
novels' historical sweep, social breadth, and subtle interplay
among a large cast of characters. Along with bringing Tolstoy's
gifts to bear on a Muslim protagonist, it also represents his most
sustained attempt at world literature.
