This book focuses on Dostoevsky's first literary publication-his 1844 translation of the first edition of Balzac's Eugе́nie Grandet (1834). Through the prism of close reading, the author analyzes Dostoevsky's literary debut and the stylistic choices he made while working on Balzac's novel in the context of his future mature aesthetic style and poetics.
Educated in Russia and the United States, Julia Titus has been teaching courses in Russian language, literature, and theater at the department of Slavic languages and Literatures at Yale University for more than twenty years.
