Anderson, Roger B. Dostoevsky : myths
of duality PG3328.Z6 A5 1986 University of Florida
Press, 1986.
This book incorporates Dostoevsky's
interest in nonmaterial dimensions of being. Mr. Anderson
writes in the beginning that Dostoevsky conjectured about
life's possibilities more broadly than most of his
contemporaries and challenged their assumptions that
psychological motivations are determined by biographical
and social conditions. This book tries to make sense of
the religious ambiguity in Dostoevsky's work.

Petersburg PR9369.3.C58 M3 1994b Viking, 1994.
The
protagonist of this novel is a fictional Fyodor
Mikhailovich Dostoevsky whose actions follow loosely, the
major historical events of Dostoevsky's life, and that of
his major, as well as less significant works. The author
takes this liberty in creating a literary pastiche of the
mid-nineteenth century novelist as a reflection of his
own struggles in an oppressive, apartheid South Africa.

influence PT2621.A26 Z6766 1992 St. Martin's Press,
1992.
This book studies the influence Dostoyevsky had on
Kafka and his writing. Kafka, throughout diary entries,
is seen to emulate Dostoyevsky in his ³eye for
luminous detail, his mastery of the grotesque, his
psychological prowess and his depiction of spiritual
crisis.² (p. 202) Another important comparison is
the ability of both authors to substantially intertwine
their lives and their prose.

introducing Balzac, ³The Heightening of a
Substance², Dickens ³Realism, Subjunctive, and
Indicative², and Gogol ³The Apotheosis of the

human rights² (p.145) and examining the influential
role Dostoyevsky played in this metamorphosis.

manner which allows Gide to synthesize individualism and
altruism.

Fueloep-Miller, Rene, Fyodor
Dostoevsky: insight, faith, and prophecy. PG3328 Z6 F82
Scribner, 1950.
By using a letter written immediately prior to his death, in
which Dostoevsky laments that he has expressed only a fraction of what he
has to say, Miller states that the author was overwhelmed by daily life,
and belonged solely to his work, to his writing. He links Dostoevsky to
Kierkegaard--comparing their existential philosphies. He considers
Dostoevsky's relious beliefs, concluding that he was a reasoned skeptic,
yet a firm believer in the knowing of God through Christ. Finally,
Miller asserts that Dostoevsky predicted the dangers of a totalitarian
state, forseeing somehow the events of the Revolution and the Soviet
government which would "reduce men to a herd" by breaking the bonds of
family and human companionship.
Gibson, Alexander Boyce,
The religion of Dostoevsky PG3328.Z7 R424
Westminster Press, [1974, c1973]
The author is affirming the existence of "philisophic doubt and
religious faith" as seperate, yet not contradictory elements within
Dostoevsky's work. There is no compromise within Dostoevsky's
characters--disparate elements are at work, and conflicting, within their
minds. Gibson calls this a "dichotomy of faith and reason."
Gide, Andre,
Dostoevsky. PG3328 G52 1949a Secker &
Warburg, 1949.
Concerned with Doesoevsky's public acceptance, Gide works to
discount the theory that the author's universe is not one of fantastic
nightmares, but a very real and competent portrayal of 19th century Russian
life. He examines Raskolnikov in detail, concluding that he is completely
bankrupt of heroic stature, a thoroughly common man who commits a brutal and
inhuman act.
Goldstein, David I. Dostoyevski and
the Jews PG3328 Z7 J4513 University of Texas
Press, 1981.
The author confronts questions regarding Dostoevsky's
anti-semetism, concluding that he was, if not an anti-semite, then a
extreme patriot, whose preoccupations with the psychological aspects of
wealth-based power made him oddly succeptible to the xenophobic elements
of 19th century St. Russian society. In his speech upon the death of
Pushkin, Goldstein claims, Dostoevsky called for the unity of all
peoples, except the Jews.
Grossman, Leonid Petrovich, Balzac and
Dostoevsky. PG3328 G713 Ardis [1973]
Grossman points out that the first literary effort of
Dostoevsky's was a translation of Balzac's Eugenie Grandet, which was
published two years before Poor Folk, in 1844. He draws parallels between
several characters in both author's novels. One which I notcied was the
comparison of Raskolnikov to a character named Rastignac in Balzac's
work. Both characters, Grossman states, extensively consider the "right
of the supermen to transgress" what are deemed to be the acceptable moral
standards of their time.

This book is an
overwhelming material that not only deals with Dostoevsky
and his work, but tries to connect and shed some light on
the influences and other great writers in connection to
this Russian genius. The main point is that Dostoevsky is
in his work and that the fluidity of his works not only
changes the way we look at them, but makes us learn more
about Dostoevsky himself.

PG3325.P73 J64 1985 Slavica Publishers, 1985, 1984.

book begins with the scene with the "old, flat, silver
watch." It tries to prove that time in the novel can be

This is all compared and looked at in comparison with the
XX century preoccupation of writers for the issue of
time.

Meier-Graefe, Julius, Dostoevsky, the man and his work,
PG3328 M43 G. Routledge and Sons ltd.; Harcourt,
Brace and Company, 1928.
This work gives us an in-depth look at Dostoevsky's
characters and novels, more than a look at his own personal
biography. Meier-Graefe spends much of the book detailing
and condensing Dostoevsky's works, often incorporating events
from his life to illustrate the creation of his stories.
Rather than a typical biography, this work is a literary

Mikhailovskii, N. K.
Dostoevsky, a cruel talent PG3328 Z6 M513 1978 Ardis,
1978.
A book that delves into the cruelty and torture
with which Dostoevsky seemed preoccupied. Mikhailovsky
explores Dostoevsky's works in relation to the cruelty
and torment of his characters, especially in those works
which are not so well-known. Dostoevsky had penetrated
"...into the various gloomy recesses of the human spirit,"
and it is this aspect of his works that is the basis
to Mikhailovsky's book.

Mochul'skii, K. Dostoevsky: his life and work, PG3328
M613 1971 Princeton University Press, 1971, c1967.
This detailed biography concentrates mainly on the
critical exploration of Dostoevsky's writings,
both in relationship to each other, and on an individual
basis. The book interprets Dostoevsky's main themes, such
as the consciousness of the modern man, freedom,
religious-philosophical arguments, and the use of
the "double" in Dostoevsky's novels. Mochulsky has
"analyzed (the works) in terms of the natural synthesis
of form and content."
Morson, Gary Saul, The boundaries of genre :
Dostoevsky's Diary of a writer and the traditions of
literary utopia PG3325.A16 D638 1990z Northwestern
University Press, [1990?], c1981.
Opinions vary as to whether or not Dostoevsky's
Diary of a Writer was nothing but a conglomeration
of pieces of writing, or if the Diary was tied together
by some broader tradition. Morson's research in the
field of literature has brought him to the conclusion
that the Diary was in fact a work that was meant to be
read, as he has discovered unity when analysis is applied
via his "genre theory" which he explains in this work.
Muchnic, Helen.
Dostoevsky's English reputation, 1881-1936. PG3328 Z6
M8 Octagon Books, 1969.
The study of great artists is an historical process
which is meant to serve different interests. Muchnic,
using Dostoevsky as an example, has attempted to identify
these interests and show the progression of thought over
a given period of time. She shows the relationship between
the development of society, and evolving English attitudes
toward Dostoevsky as an artist.
Murav, Harriet, Holy
foolishness : Dostoevsky's novels & the poetics of
cultural critique PG3328.Z7 H646 1992 Stanford
University Press, 1992.
Claiming that Dostoevsky has "reinvented the holy fool"
Murav's critique accuses Dostoevsky's literature of being
representative of "three interrelated problemÕs: narrative
innovation, cultural critique, and authorial self-representation."
Murav has traced the development of several characters in many of
Dostoevsky's work and draws the conclusion that readers are
"scandalized and left with the possibility for [what she calls]
conversion."

Character names in Dostoevsky's fiction PG3328 Z7 C477
Ardis Publishers, c1982.
A compilation of 513 fictional family names and
explanations of them is intended to "enhance
the study of the English-reader.' Many of the names
which Dostoevsky creates using the Russian language
are used specifically to further engage the readers
conceptions of individual characters. Often this
"Dostoevskian" quality is lost in translation.
Passage's primary objective in this book is to
analyze the Russian names and convey their significance
for the English reader.
Passage, Charles
Edward, Dostoevski the adapter; a study in Dostoevski's
use of the tales of Hoffmann. PG3328 Z6 P3
University of North Carolina Press, 1954.
There are several purposes which Passage has intended to
accomplish in this work. Important among these was the
contribution to an area of research which the author feels
has not been fully explored: Dostoevsky's 'pre-exile" period.
He was particularly interested in uncovering the "procedures
of a great artist in the initial stages of his career."
Payne,
Robert, Dostoyevsky: a human portrait. PG3328 P35
Knopf, 1961.
Most scholar's approach a knowledge of Dostoevsky's
life and work through intellectual systems which can be
culturally bias and hostile to context. Payne's concern
in this work is to "portray the living man by creating a
portrait, [rather] than to use him as a peg for a variety of
theories."
Peace, Richard Arthur. Dostoyevsky;
an examination of the major novels PG3328 Z6 P36
University Press, 1971.
Two chapters are dedicated to each of Crime and
Punishment, The Idiot, The Devils and The Brothers
Karamazov in Peace's literary review of Dostoevsky.
Also included in the review are examinations of
Notes From the Underground and earlier writings.
Peace states, "the intention of [this] study is not
to do what has already been done, but rather to look
closely at the texts of the major novels and see how
each functions as a work of art."

criticism. PG3328 Z6 P7 Mouton, 1969.
A study of
19th Century Russian literary critics Belinskij,
Cernyshevskij, Dobroljubov, Pisarev, and Mixajlovskij.
Since all but one critiqued Dostoevskij, his work is used
as the unifying factor in showing the thought and ideas
of these men.

Kennikat Press [1972]
This book analyzes each of the
protagonists and examines the crimes and the sources and
meaning of authority in each of Dostoevsky's major
novels. Furthermore, Roe proposes interpretations of the
themes of faith, revolution, and corruption in these
works.
Rosenshield, Gary. Crime and punishment :
the techniques of the omniscient author PG3325 P73 R6
Peter de Ridder Press, 1978.
Rosenshield examines
the dynamic of the objective third-person narrator in
Crime and Punishment. This narrator is inconspicuous,
omniscient, and infallible, an almost godlike
consciousness relaying the story. The narrator serves as
a spokesman for the implied author, whom Rosenshield
pointedly distinguishes from the historical Dostoevsky.
Rowe, William Woodin. Dostoevsky; child and man in
his works. PG3328 Z6 R6 New York University Press;
London, University of London Press 1968
Throughout his
novels, Dostoevsky consistently uses the child to convey
his deepest feelings. This book examines the child as
victim and as adult, as mental image in memories and
dreams, and as "modifier" in descriptive devices.
Finally, Rowe looks at the adult as child in Dostoevsky
novels.

This work contains nine essays concerned with the
"inherent weakness of the committed novel." (p.283) Smith
argues that Dostoyevsky's novel "The Idiot" is in fact a
success because the author does not specifically express
judgments. Rather, the author stays within the imagined
reality he has created.

Dostoevsky : influence and confluence PS3511 A86 Z98563
Ohio University Press, c1974.
This text combines the
two authors in ten essays arguing varied topics; for
instance "Between the Devil and the Good God," and
"Questioning the Novelistic Tradition." Weisberger is
generally concerned with Dostoevsky's influence on
Faulkner and states "We will see above all that
Dostoevsky furnishes Faulknerians with some extremely
useful instruments: an observation post, a guiding theme,
a detector indicating meanings and values."

This is a long, thorough biography

PG3328 Z6 Z3 SCM Press [1948]
An analysis of
Dostoevsky's works with the focus on countering a common
misunderstanding among scholars, that Dostoevsky was
pre-occupied with evil. Citing some of Dostoevsky's
major characters, such as Arcady Dolgoruky, Prince

Dostoevsky himself, strove to portray goodness in
mankind.
