More often than not, monographs on the reception of an author are
either detailed, chronologically organized accounts of the
reputation of that author, or studies in literary influence. This
study adopts neither of those approaches and deals with the
reception of Fedor Dostoevskii in Britain from a double
perspective. The detailed analysis of primary sources such as
reviews, essays and monographs on Dostoevskii is associated here
with a critical investigation of the dynamics of the reception
process. On the one hand, the available sources are examined with
the intention of exposing their underlying ideological tensions and
impact on British literary circles. On the other hand, Fedor
Dostoevskii's novels are shown to function as a prism, through
which significant aspects of nineteenth- and early
twentieth-century British intellectual life are refracted. In the
final analysis, by using Dostoevskii as an exemplary case study,
this book develops both a methodology that aims at clarifying what
we mean when we refer to 'reception' and a theoretical alternative
to prevalent notions of reception.
