This volume presents a comprehensive overview of the close and
complex relationship between Britain and the life and work of Ivan
Turgenev. The author examines Turgenev's interest in English
literature and his reception by the British from the 1850s through
to the present day. Reprinting important articles previously
inaccessible to the general reader, it includes a new introduction
and an extensive bibliography and index.'Readers of this journal
will need no reminder of the enormous contribution Patrick
Waddington has made to Turgenev studies during the past twenty five
years or so. Its pages contain much of the valuable material his
indefatigable research has produced during that period. The volume
under review is in a sense a celebration and summation of part of
the work accomplished in those twenty five years. In it the editor,
with his customary scholarship, good sense and meticulous attention
to detail, has brought together previously published articles,
essays and reviews by British critics, writers, scholars and
literary historians, on the subject of Anglo-Saxon perspectives of
Turgenev, in the process also shedding light on the Russian
writer's possible influence on English literature in the nineteenth
century.'New Zealand Slavonic Journal
