Dostoevsky's View of the "Intelligentsia" in 19Th Century
DOSTOEVSKY'S VIEW OF THE "INTELLIGENTSIA" IN 19TH CENTURY RUSSIA: A STUDY OF HIS MAJOR NOVELS by BARBARA CLAUDIA SCHIEFER submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS in the subject RUSSIAN at the UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH AFRICA SUPERVISOR: MRS A KRZYCHYLKIEWICZ NOVEMBER 1992 SUMMARY Fyodor Dostoevsky is often regarded as a proponent of the rights of the poor and downtrodden in Russian society in the 19th century. This view is usually based on the work of his youth - his first short novel and his early short stories. An examination of his major novels - all of which were written during his mature years between 1861 and 1879 - shows, however, that his views were far removed from those of the progressive members of Russian society of his 11 day (the intelligentsia 11 ) and that his opinions became more reactionary with advancing age. By the time of his death in 1881, Dostoevsky had long been an opponent of democratic ideals and a keen supporter of the autocratic regime of Tsar Alexander II. $CH I I 11~111111111~1111111111 01490843 TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction Part I - The Russian social system in the 19th century and the role of the Russian intelligentsia 1 Russian society in the 19th century 2 Towards a definition of the Russian intelligentsia 3 The development of an intelligentsia in Russia 4 The political role of the intelligentsia 5 Literature and the intelligentsia Part II - Dostoevsky's early life and work as a background to his major novels 1 Dostoevsky's youth and family 2 Dostoevsky' early work as a

Russian Literary Conflicts Over the Antinihilist Novel, 1861-1881
† Designated as an Exemplary Final Project for 2020-21 Russian Literary Conflicts over the Antinihilist Novel, 1861-1881 Muhammad Ali Faculty Advisor: Dr. Martin A. Miller Department of History April 2021 This project was submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Graduate Liberal Studies Program in the Graduate School of Duke University. Copyright by Muhammad Ali 2021 Abstract This thesis examines the representation of nihilism in antinihilist and radical novels written in post-emancipation Tsarist Russia, between 1861 and 1881. During this period, nihilism emerged as a social and political phenomenon and contributed not only to the emerging differences between the generation of the “superfluous men” (1840s) and of the prominent literary critics (1860s), but also to the radicalization of a segment of society. As a result, it was actively discussed and debated in most of the literature produced in this period. I have limited my analysis to three of the maJor works written during this time: Ivan Turgenev's Fathers and Sons, Nikolai Chernyshevsky's What Is To Be Done?, and Fyodor Dostoevsky's Demons. Through my analysis of literary conflicts within these novels, I have explicated connections between the novels, identified influences over the authors and explored how representations of nihilism evolved within Russian society during the 1860s and the 1870s. i Table of Contents Abstract ..........................................................................................................................................
