When Constance Garnett's translations (1910-20) made Dostoevsky's
novels accessible in England for the first time they introduced a
disruptive and liberating literary force, and English novelists had
to confront a new model and rival. The writers who are the focus of
this study - Lawrence, Woolf, Bennett, Conrad, Forster, Galsworthy
and James - either admired or feared Dostoevsky as a monster who
might dissolve all literary and cultural distinctions. Though their
responses differed greatly, these writers were unanimous in their
inability to recognize Dostoevsky as a literary artist. They viewed
him instead as a psychologist, a mystic, a prophet and, in the
cases of Lawrence and Conrad, a hated rival who compelled creative
response. This study constructs a map of English modernist
novelists' misreadings of Dostoevsky, and in so doing it
illuminates their aesthetic and cultural values and the nature of
the modern English novel.
