The Devils is one of Dostoevsky's four major novels -- and the most
openly political of his works. Known by several names, including
The Demons and The Possessed, this novel often anchors courses on
Dostoevsky's works. This critical companion contains essays that
shed light on both the tricky literary structure of the novel as
well as its social and political components.
Literary scholars have been fascinated by The Devils because of
its difficult narrative structure, which veers back and forth from
first and third person. The first essay, by Malcolm V. Jones,
tackles this tricky narrative. Derek Offord then examines
Dostoevsky's political overtones and social commentary. Finally,
R.P. Blackmur looks at the metaphysical aspects of the novel.
In addition to a detailed introduction, editor William
Leatherbarrow provides notebook and source material, as well as an
annotated bibliography.
