This book, first published in 1977, begins with a close look at the
lives of nineteenth century Russian writers, and at the problems of
their profession. It then examines their environment in its broader
aspects, the Russian empire being considered from the point of view
of geography, ethnography, economics, and the impact of individual
Tsars on writers and society. A discussion of the main social
'estates' follows, and concluding is an analysis in their literary
context of the activities of the competing forces of cohesion and
disruption in imperial society: the civil service, law courts,
police, army, schools, universities, press, censorship,
revolutionaries and agitators. This book makes possible a fuller
understanding of the works of Pushkin, Dostoyevsky, Chekhov and the
other great Russian writers.
