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\u003e Concentrating 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\u003e Table of Contents \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Preface \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The Pronunciation of Russian Names \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e An Introduction by George Woodcock \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Chapter I: Introduction \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Chapter II: Pushkin and Lermontoff \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Chapter III: Gogol \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Chapter IV: Turgueneff - Tolotsy \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Chapter V: Gontcharoff - Dostoyevskiy - Nekrasoff \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Chapter VI: The Drama \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Chapter VII: The Folk Novelists \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Chapter VIII: Political Literature - Satire - Art Criticism - Later Period Novelists \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Bibliographical Notes \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Appendices \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Index \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e 1991: 385 pages, index\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Kropotkin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0921689845\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780921689843\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Black Rose Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/1990\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 416\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.40w x 1.10d","brand":"Peter Kropotkin","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43926828777727,"sku":"9780921689843","price":31.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_608eb833-5ab8-41b7-a4b2-9a116f7d2133.jpg?v=1681085248","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/russian-literature-peter-kropotkin-9780921689843","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
