Virginia Woolf's Reading Notes on Russian Literature
APPENDICES Virginia Woolf’s Reading Notes on Russian Literature Transcribed and Edited by Roberta Rubenstein APPENDIX A Reading Notes on Dostoevsky’s The Possessed1 31 Dostoevsky. The Possessed 8 violence 9 ‘hate’ & love.2 the love of revelation & confession; 25 a society as the God.3 Ideas that strike them on the head. 1 Reading Notebook 14. Holograph. RN1.14. The Berg Collection. Contents of the notebook relate to what was eventually published as the essay, “Phases of Fiction” (1929). Pages numbered by Woolf, are 31, 32, 33, and 34. Transcription published with permission of the Estate of Virginia Woolf and the Henry W. and Albert A. Berg Collection of English and American Literature, The New York Public Library, Astor, Lenox and Tilden Foundations. A single loose, unnumbered page of Woolf’s notes on The Possessed, which overlaps significantly with page 31 of Reading Notebook 14, appears in Reading Notebook 46. At the top of the page is a crossed-out heading, “Turgenev— Lear of the Steppes,” beneath which Woolf wrote, “Dostoevsky The Possessed.” Holograph MH/ B2.n, Monks House Papers. Transcription published with permission of the Estate of Virginia Woolf and Monks House Papers, University of Sussex. As Brenda Silver observes, “Given the large amount of reading, rereading, writing, and revising that Woolf did for [The Common Reader, Second Series, “Phases of Fiction,” and several other projects], it is not surprising that her notes from this period are scattered among several notebooks . .” (Virginia Woolf’s Reading Notebooks 215–16). Passages cited in Fyodor Dostoevsky, The Possessed: A Novel in Three Parts, are from Constance Garnett’s translation from the Russian (New York: Macmillan, 1916). -

Zakladatel Brněnské Literárněvědné Slavistiky Frank Wollman (1888-1969)
Russian Literature and Its Historical Background Russian literature was developing in the country which was under ceaseless pressure of Eastern raiders. For centuries, Russia actually acted as a European barrier – the fact the Europeans were not always aware of, and, on the contrary, the fact made the Russians to believe in their messianic role and right to the world leadership. Face to face with the outer danger and due to internal arrangement, which was given by important historical events which were moving Russia away from the rest of Europe (the East-West Schism or the Mongol invasion), in Russia the individual was suppressed (Karel Havlíček Borovský mentions in his Pictures from Russia, 1843-1846, that the price of a Russian peasant, a serf, is much lower than the price paid for an English thoroughbred), while collectiveness and group spirit (sobornosť) is accented. In this historical context, literature had a number of further functions and partly substituted for the non-existing or weakly manifesting philosophy and science. Literature also served as a convenient tool to express political views: behind the curtain of a sentimental book of travels Journey from St. Petersburg to Moscow (1790) by Alexander Radishchev a severe political attack on the autocratic system of government is hidden; also the literature of the Decembrists (members of illegal groups and later also the participants in the crushed uprising of the 14th of December [December = dyekabr, in Russian] – 1825). In the liberal atmosphere of the 1850s and the 1860s, literature was often seen as more or less direct reflection of political movements.1 The Russian Empire gradually started to present itself as a typical multinational and multicultural country with a changeable attitude of the majority ethnic group towards other nations and their freedom and also as a target country of a number of foreign families and individuals (under Peter I and also before the Germans, later on the Dutch and the English, after the revolution the French, and continuously also the Poles, etc.). -
Peter Slovtsov, Ivan Kalashnikov, and the Saga of Russian Siberia
ENLIGHTENING THE LAND OF MIDNIGHT: PETER SLOVTSOV, IVAN KALASHNIKOV, AND THE SAGA OF RUSSIAN SIBERIA Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Mark A. Soderstrom Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2011 Dissertation Committee: Nicholas B. Breyfogle, Advisor Alice L. Conklin David L. Hoffmann Copyright by Mark A. Soderstrom 2011 ABSTRACT This dissertation examines the lives, works, and careers of Peter Andreevich Slovtsov (1767-1843) and Ivan Timofeevich Kalashnikov (1797-1863). Known today largely for their roles as Siberian “firsts”—Slovtsov as Siberia‟s first native-born historian, Kalashnikov as Siberia‟s first native-born novelist—their names often appear in discussions of the origins of Siberian regionalism, a movement of the later nineteenth century that decried Siberia‟s “colonial” treatment by the tsarist state and called for greater autonomy for the region. Drawing on a wide range of archival materials— including two decades of correspondence between the two men—this study shows that Slovtsov and Kalashnikov, far from being disgruntled critics of the tsarist state, were its proud agents. They identified with their service careers, I suggest, because they believed that autocratic rule was the best system for Russia and because serving the tsarist state provided what they saw as their greatest opportunity to participate in a progressive, world-historical saga of enlightenment. Their understanding of this saga and its Russian reverberations gave form and content to their senses of self. An exploration of Slovtsov and Kalashnikov‟s complex lives through the long paper trail that makes them accessible today offers revealing perspectives on the social, cultural, and intellectual history of Russia—in particular on topics of service, selfhood, bureaucratic culture, education, and the intersection of public and private life—as well as ii on the history of Siberia and its place in the empire. -

Confess the Gay Away? Media, Religion, and the Political Economy of Ex-Gay Therapy
Confess the Gay Away? Media, Religion, and the Political Economy of Ex-gay Therapy Michael Thorn A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY GRADUATE PROGRAM IN COMMUNICATION AND CULTURE YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO April 2015 ©Michael Thorn, 2015 ii Abstract The “ex-gay” movement does not encourage people to pray the gay away but confess the gay away. As a loose organization of mostly Christian ministries and psychotherapy practices that offers “freedom from homosexuality,” the movement offers religious and psychological confessions of sin and disease and testimonies of truth and belief as technologies of both self- sacrifice and identity formation. The aim is to control unwanted same-sex desire through life- long labour and struggle so as to sacrifice one’s gay or lesbian identity for an ex-gay identity. However, in the debate surrounding the movement, those opposed use confessions of trauma and harm, and testimonies of their own truth and belief, to try and sacrifice the movement in favour of gay and lesbian identities. Confession and testimony, then, which are two sides of the same coin, underlie the discourses and practices of all involved in ex-gay truth games. In the 1970s and 80s the ex-gay movement operated in the shadows of Christianity as an embarrassing secret. This dissertation analyzes the movement from the 1990s, when, in alliance with the Christian Right, it “came out of the closet” through a cross-platform advertising campaign that generated fifteen years’ worth of “earned media” in news and popular culture entertainment. -
