Tolstoy's View Of Art (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781425466534)

Tolstoy's View of Art is a book written by Aylmer Maude that explores the literary and philosophical views of the great Russian writer Leo Tolstoy. In this book, Maude delves into Tolstoy's beliefs about the role of art in society, and how art can be used to convey important moral and ethical messages.Maude examines Tolstoy's famous essay ""What is Art?"" which was published in 1898, and which has since become a seminal work in the field of aesthetics. In this essay, Tolstoy argues that true art must be accessible to everyone, and that it must serve a moral purpose by inspiring people to live better lives.Maude also explores Tolstoy's views on the relationship between art and religion, and how he believed that art could be used to convey spiritual truths to people. He examines Tolstoy's own experiences as a writer, and how his own works reflected his philosophical beliefs.Overall, Tolstoy's View of Art is a fascinating exploration of one of the most important literary figures of the 19th century, and how his ideas about art and literature continue to influence our understanding of these subjects today.THIS 26 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Tolstoy and His Problems, by Aylmer Maude.
