Aspects of Dostoevskii Art, Ethics and Faith

Annotation. The nature of Dostoevskii's art continues to be debated. The older tendency to disparage his literary method has given way to a recognition of the originality of his techniques, without which his ideological concerns would not have emerged with such thought-provoking clarity. The chapters which comprise this volume address these issues in a range of Dostoevskii's works, from shorter classics, such as 'House of the Dead' and 'Notes from Underground' to great novels such as 'Crime and Punishment' and 'The Brothers Karamazov.'
