This study concentrates on The Devils, but also places this novel
in the total context of Dostoevsky's work. Also considered is the
life and work of T.N. Granovsky, who is satirised along with
Turgenev in the novel, and thus offers a useful basis on which to
delineate the contours of Dostoevsky's thought. First published in
1991, the book begins from the belief that his "genius embodies
much of what is typical of Russian life: his boundless vitality,
his extremism, his lack of empiricism and economy. To understand
Dostoevsky is therefore somehow to understand Russia." The author
concludes that Dostoevsky badly misunderstood Western liberalism,
but grappled very well with the psychology of the radical
terrorist. This is explained with reference to his intellectual
revolution, which is seen as consisting of six stages from his
early works of the 1840s.
