About This Book

A concise critical study profiles three leading nineteenth-century Russian prose writers, tracing their origins, major works, stylistic development, and cultural contexts. The first section examines an author's youthful influences, folkloric sources, bureaucratic and academic experiences, and landmark pieces such as his early tales, a historical romance, a celebrated satirical play, and a mature novel. Subsequent sections survey the life, themes, and narrative methods of the other two novelists, comparing tendencies toward realism, social critique, and psychological depth. An appendix and index provide supplementary materials and references for readers interested in further study.
