    Fyodor Dostoevsky : Notes from Underground

    M.A. (ENGLISH) PART-I COURSE-VII SEMESTER-II NINETEENTH CENTURY FICTION Lesson No. 15 Author : Dr. Sushil Kumar Fyodor Dostoevsky : Notes from Underground Introduction : The historical, cultural and political background of an author plays a significant role in the constitution of his/her fictional discourses. These aspects must be studied in order to comprehend the geo-political, historical, cultural and ideological positions of a literary writer. It is more important in the case of 19th century Russian writer like Dostoevsky who belongs to a complex set of historical, political and cultural circumstances of Russia. Like many of his contemporaries, he responded to the cultural, historical and political climate of the transformation era of Russia in his writings. The examining of the cultural and political background of Dostoevsky shows some sort of similarity in his upbringing and immediate ideological environment. So, his response to the socialist discursive ideas is predominantly unique and his fiction becomes an attempt to critique that heritage by revisiting, appropriating and articulating afresh the rich historical, political and cultural heritage of Russian Society. Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky: Life and Works Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky is a versatile genius and prolific writer. He is a novelist, short story writer, essayist, journalist and a philosopher. He was born in 1821, in Moscow, Russia. His parents Maria Fyodorovna Dostoevskaya and Mikhail Andreevich Dostoyevsky belonged to a mixed ethnic and multi-denominational noble family from the Pinsk region. He was the second among seven siblings. Dostoevsky’s father was supposed to work as a priest like his ancestors but he ran away from home and broke his relations with the family.

The Russian novelist Fyodor Dostoevsky was well known in his country during his life and has since been praised around the world as a writer. He is best known for writing novels that had a great understanding of psychology (the study of how the human mind works), especially the psychology of people who, losing their reason, would become insane or commit murder. The young man. Fyodor Dostoevsky was born in Moscow, Russia, on November 11, 1821, the son of a doctor. His family was very religious, and Dostoevsky was deeply religious all his life.

E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT. This research aims to probe the classical elements in the works of Fyodor Dostoevsky and to show the author’s bent towards the classical authors and traditions. Dostoevsky is the giant literary figure of 19th-century Russian literature and he belongs not only to a particular time but to all times like many other great classic writers. The research is significant for exposing the author’s affiliation towards the epic poetry of Homer and Hesiod and the dramas of the preeminent Athenian tragedians, Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides. Dostoevsky also becomes classic based on his dealings with the themes dealt by the classics like love, fight for honour, real-life presentation, the conflict between vice and virtue and the struggle of his tragic heroes to reach their goal. The research proves that Dostoevsky is a classic among the classics because of having close resonance with the classics in the art of characterization, the portrayal of tragic heroes, theme building and by including some elements of tragedy. The qualitative research is designed on the descriptive-analytic method by using the approach of Classicism presented by Mark Twain. Keywords: classicism; tragic heroes; tragedy; resonance; characterization; classical traditions.

G. Dostoevskaya, the writer's second wife, had listed all the books her husband possessed after they returned from Europe and settled in Russia again. As a result of this find a catalog)) was compiled of Dostoevsky's library in the last period of his life: the time when most of his major novels were created. This enabled biographers and critics to research thoroughly a whole series of literary and philosophical influences on him, which till then were difficult to prove or were only suspected. Significant light was thrown on the rather dark area of the writer's creative process, on his narrative methods and artistic devices. This, among other things, proved his impressive erudition in European and Russian literature, philosophy, history, social and political thought. Doubtless was the fact that he enriched both the European and Russian literary traditions with innovations, transforming existing narrative modes, forms and devices into something genuinely his: a special kind of, what he calls, "realism in the highest sense of the word"2) : a realism 1) The catalog was first published in FThe Library of Dostoevsky.J) , Odessa, 1919, pp. 125-67. 2 similar to, yet different from, the realism of the literature of both Russia and Europe at the time. As Renato Poggioli points out in his wThe Phoenix and the Spider~, Dos­ toevsky shares a lot in common with the artistic conceptions of realism of both Goncharov and Saltykov-Shchedrin.
