Marking the bicentenary of Dostoevsky's birth, Dostoevsky at 200:
The Novel in Modernity takes the writer's art - specifically the
tension between experience and formal representation - as its
central theme. While many critical approaches to Dostoevsky's works
are concerned with spiritual and philosophical dilemmas, this
volume focuses instead on questions of design and narrative to
explore Dostoevsky and the novel from a multitude of perspectives.
Contributors situate Dostoevsky's formal choices of narrative,
plot, genre, characterization, and the novel itself within
modernity and consider how the experience of modernity led to
Dostoevsky's particular engagement with form. Conceived as a forum
for younger scholars working in new directions in Dostoevsky
scholarship, this volume asks how narrative and genre shape
Dostoevsky's works, as well as how they influence the way modernity
is represented. Of interest not only to readers and scholars of
Russian literature but also to those curious about the genre of the
novel more broadly, Dostoevsky at 200 is pathbreaking in its
approach to the question of Dostoevsky's contribution to the novel
as a form.
