Recounting the murder of an elderly woman by a student expelled
from university, Crime and Punishment is a psychological and
political novel that portrays the strains on Russian society in the
middle of the nineteenth century. Its protagonist, Raskolnikov,
moves in a world of dire poverty, disillusionment, radicalism, and
nihilism interwoven with religious faith and utopianism. In
Dostoevsky's innovative style, which he called fantastic realism,
the narrator frequently reports from within the protagonist's mind.
The depiction of the desperate lives of tradespeople, students,
alcoholics, prostitutes, and criminals gives readers insight into
the urban society of St. Petersburg at the time. The first part of
this book offers instructors guidance on Russian editions and
English translations, a map of St. Petersburg showing locations
mentioned in the novel, a list of characters and an explanation of
the Russian naming system, analysis of key scenes, and selected
critical works on the novel. In the second part, essays address
many of Dostoevsky's themes and consider the role of ethics,
gender, money, Orthodox Christianity, and social justice in the
narrative. The volume concludes with essays on digital media and
film adaptations.
