This Casebook is a collection of interpretations of Crime and
Punishment. The selection not only reflects earlier work by major
critics in the field, but also more recent studies. At the same
time the choice of critical approaches has been made on the basis
of covering the novel's various aspects: Dostoevsky's debt to other
novelists in the European tradition; his roots as a writer in the
so-called "Natural School" of the 1840s with its emphasis on the
theme of the city; the thematic and symbolic structure of the novel
itself; the psychology of the hero; the philosophical content of
the novel and its relationship to contemporary thought; the novel's
religious dimension. This latter approach has long been established
in western criticism, but the two essays with which the Casebook
concludes are by modern Russian scholars, who examine the novel in
the light of their own Orthodox tradition.
