How does Dostoevsky's fiction illuminate questions that are
important to us today? What does the author have to say about
memory and invention, the nature of evidence, and why we read? How
did his readings of such writers as Rousseau, Maturin, and Dickens
filter into his own novelistic consciousness? And what happens to a
novel like Crime and Punishment when it is the subject of a
classroom discussion or a conversation? In this original and
wide-ranging book, Dostoevsky scholar Robin Feuer Miller approaches
the author's major works from a variety of angles and offers a new
set of keys to understanding Dostoevsky's world. Taking
Dostoevsky's own conversion as her point of departure, Miller
explores themes of conversion and healing in his fiction, where
spiritual and artistic transfigurations abound. She also addresses
questions of literary influence, intertextuality, and the potency
of what the author termed "ideas in the air." For readers new to
Dostoevsky's writings as well as those deeply familiar with them,
Miller offers lucid insights into his works and into their
continuing power to engage readers in our own times.
