This collection of essays was first published in 1978. They
commemorate the 150th anniversary of Tolstoy's birth in 1828. The
range in subject matter is great and includes a reconsideration of
the problems of translating Tolstoy into English, fresh approaches
to his major fiction (War and Peace and Anna Karenina), a study of
an underrated later work (Hadji Murat) and reassessments of Tolstoy
as a thinker. The final essay records an attempt to establish a
'Tolstoyan' colony at Purleigh during Tolstoy's own lifetime. There
is also a bibliographical survey of British work on Tolstoy up
until the 1970s. The whole collection was conceived as a
specifically British contribution to the 150th anniversary
celebrations. The book is illustrated with a number of little-known
photographs of Tolstoy.
