In 1919, Virginia Woolf wrote, "The most inconclusive remarks
upon modern English fiction can hardly avoid some mention of the
Russian influence, and if the Russians are mentioned one runs the
risk of feeling that to write of any fiction save theirs is a waste
of time." In "Virginia Woolf and the Russian Point of View,"
Roberta Rubenstein examines Woolf's responses to Russian literature
over two decades and across the range of her fiction, essays, and
book reviews. She argues that the Russian writers significantly
influenced Woolf's developing Modernist aesthetic and left lasting
marks on her theory and practice of fiction. The book includes
transcriptions of forty-eight pages of Woolf's previously
unpublished reading notes on Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, and Turgenev, and
an unpublished review in which Chekhov and the Russians figure
centrally.
