The consequence, he feels, has been that the best minds of the country have chosen the poem, the novel, the satire, or literary criticism as the medium for expressing their aspirations, their conceptions of national life, and their ideals. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eConcentrating on content rather than on form, on intention rather than achievement, Russian Literature provides a fair and comprehensive introduction to Russian writing up to the end of the nineteenth century. Almost every poet and prose-writer of any significance is discussed - Pushkin, Lermontoff, Gogol, Turgueneff, Tolstoy, Dostoyevsky - and every class of literature is included; criticism as well as novels, and political writings as well as poetry. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTable of Contents \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePreface \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe Pronunciation of Russian Names \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAn Introduction by George Woodcock \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eChapter I: Introduction \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eChapter II: Pushkin and Lermontoff \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eChapter III: Gogol \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eChapter IV: Turgueneff - Tolotsy \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eChapter V: Gontcharoff - Dostoyevskiy - Nekrasoff \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eChapter VI: The Drama \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eChapter VII: The Folk Novelists \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eChapter VIII: Political Literature - Satire - Art Criticism - Later Period Novelists \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBibliographical Notes \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAppendices \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIndex \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e1991: 385 pages, index","brand":"Black Rose Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47591930134679,"sku":"9780921689843","price":3695.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780921689843.webp?v=1774975230","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/russian-literature-9780921689843","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
