"The best thing ever done on how Tolstoy wrote War and Peace. Feuer
shows us an incredible complexity in terms of the creative process.
You see the seams and joints in the novel." Gary Saul Morson,
Northwestern University"In 1963, Kathryn B. Feuer had access to the
manuscripts of the drafts for the novel, almost 4,000 pages. At
Tolstoy's home, she concentrated on a dozen books that related to
his earlier conceptions of War and Peace. She was indefatigable,
with every detail at her fingertips, and she could express fine
perceptions with something of the lucidity and measure of her
admired Jane Austen. . . . Her daughter and Donna Tussing Orwin
completed their task of editing in such a way that the book
everywhere shows that concern with thoroughly tested evidence that
above all makes it a landmark in Tolstoy studies." Times Literary
Supplement"The effectiveness of Feuer's account of the creation of
War and Peace results from her remarkably cogent and uncluttered
reading of the drafts and revisions that inform the description of
Tolstoy's creative process. Tolstoy and the Genesis of 'War and
Peace' is destined to remain a classic on the subject." Slavic
Review"Young novelists who listen to their creative writing
teachers would be better served reading Feuer's brilliant study of
the creation of War and Peace." Common KnowledgeKathryn B. Feuer
offers remarkable insights into Leo Tolstoy's creative process
while he wrote War and Peace. She follows the novel through
countless drafts and notes, illuminating its connection to earlier,
unpublished, novels and to crucial new sources, both European and
Russian. A novelist herself, Feuer explores the problems of
character development, narrative voice, genre, and structure that
Tolstoy ultimately resolved so brilliantly."
