{"product_id":"anna-karenina-and-others-liza-knapp-9780299307943","title":"Anna Karenina and Others","description":"With its complex structure, \u003ci\u003eAnna Karenina\u003c\/i\u003e places special demands on readers who must follow multiple plotlines and discern their hidden linkages. In her well-conceived and jargon-free analysis, Liza Knapp offers a fresh approach to understanding how the novel is constructed, how it creates patterns of meaning, and why it is much more than Tolstoy's version of an adultery story.\u003cbr\u003e Knapp provides a series of readings of \u003ci\u003eAnna Karenina\u003c\/i\u003e that draw on other works that were critical to Tolstoy's understanding of the interconnectedness of human lives. Among the texts she considers are \u003ci\u003eThe Scarlet Letter\u003c\/i\u003e, a novel of adultery with a divided plot; \u003ci\u003eMiddlemarch\u003c\/i\u003e, a multiplot novel with neighborly love as its ideal; and Blaise Pascal's \u003ci\u003ePens馥s\u003c\/i\u003e, which fascinated Tolstoy during his own religious crisis. She concludes with a tour-de-force reading of \u003ci\u003eMrs. Dalloway\u003c\/i\u003e that shows Virginia Woolf constructing this novel in response to Tolstoy's treatment of Anna Karenina and others.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Liza Knapp\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0299307948\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780299307943\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Wisconsin Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/10\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.70d","brand":"Liza Knapp","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43990125215999,"sku":"9780299307943","price":21.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_816d10b7-2030-43fe-b3ac-40409fb3d2f3.jpg?v=1683303140","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/anna-karenina-and-others-liza-knapp-9780299307943","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
