Exploring works by Alexander Pushkin, Nikolai Gogol, Fyodor Dostoevsky, and Faddei Bulgarin, I view tropes such as spending, counterfeiting, hoarding, and gambling, as well as plots of mad or blocked ambition, in relation to the cultural and economic history of Nicholas I’s reign and in the context of the importation of economic discourse and literary conventions from abroad. Furthermore, I consider the impact of culturally and economically conditioned affects—ambition, avarice, and embarrassment—on narrative tone.

  • Dostoevsky's Religion
    Dostoevsky Studies, New Series, Vol. XIII (2009), pp. 23-35 CAROL APOLLONIO Duke University Dostoevsky’s Religion: Words, Images, and the Seed of Charity To write and then go and dump it all on a passage from the Gospels is awfully theological. Resolving everything with a passage from the Gospels is just as arbitrary as dividing the prisoners into five categories. Why five and not ten? Why a passage from the Gospels and not from the Koran? First you have to make people believe in the Gospels, make them believe that they are the truth, and then you can resolve everything with a passage from them. (Anton Chekhov)1 Fyodor Dostoevsky was a Russian Orthodox believer for whom the image of Christ was a “symbol of faith” so powerful that he would choose it over proven truth.2 So it would seem surprising that neither Orthodox symbols, dogma, and ritual, nor the iconic image of Christ figure prominently in the writer’s great novels.3 At key moments, the verifiable markers of the Orthodox faith recede and give way to more dangerous elements: Maria Timofeevna Lebiadkina’s occult obsessions, for exam- ple, or the pagan motifs surrounding Alyosha Karamazov’s fall to the 1 Anton Chekhov, writing about Lev Tolstoy’s novel Resurrection in a letter to Mikhail O.

  • The Aphorism: Fragments from the Breakdown of Reason
    The Aphorism: Fragments from the Breakdown of Reason Gary Saul Morson I. Genre and Short Forms 1. aphorism, dictum, maxim, slogan, witticism, hypothesis, thought, and many other terms for short expressions have no clear definition and are used in contradictory or overlapping ways. A book of aphorisms often contains expressions that in another classification would be called witticisms and maxims. Moreover, some of these terms are often used to refer to any short expression (broad definition) and to a particular type (narrow). 2. Vagueness serves the anthologizer. In The Oxford Book of Aphorisms, editor John Gross begins by reminding us that the earliest aphorisms to go by that name were a collection of medical sayings by Hippocrates; that when the term was revived in the Renaissance it first referred to such essentially mnemonic statements, but that by the eighteenth century it had come to denote “the formulation of a moral or philo- sophical principle,” a comment on some aspect of experienced life, and so had completely changed its meaning. So Dr. Johnson could define aphorism as “a maxim; a precept contracted in a short sentence; an unconnected position.” It must stand by itself (unconnected), be brief, and treat a moral topic—but so do most short expressions. Johnson is evidently formulating the broad definition, which would include witti- cisms and maxims.1 Gross at first offers a narrower definition that might distinguish the aphorism from other short expressions. Yet his constant qualifications defeat the attempt, which is perhaps his point. The aphorism, he tells us, is often malicious, but sometimes consoling.

    © Copyright, Princeton University Press. No part of this book may be distributed, posted, or reproduced in any form by digital or mechanical means without prior written permission of the publisher. Chapter 1 Spotting the Spoof The Value of Telling Stories Out of (and in) School This book creates a dialogue between two fields that rarely have anything to say to each other: economics and the human- ities. We mean to show how that dialogue could be conducted and why it has a great deal to contribute. The best dialogues take place when each interlocutor speaks from her best self, without pretending to be something she is not. In their recent book Phishing for Phools: The Economics of Manipulation and Deception, Nobel Prize–winning economists George Akerlof and Robert Shiller expand the standard defini- tion of “phishing.”1 In their usage, it goes beyond committing fraud on the Internet to indicate something older and more gen- eral: “getting people to do things that are in the interest of the phisherman” rather than their own.2 In much the same spirit, we would like to expand the meaning of another recent com- puter term, “spoofing,” which normally means impersonating someone else’s email name and address to deceive the recipi- ent—a friend or family member of the person whose name is stolen—into doing something no one would do at the behest of a stranger. Spoofing in our usage also means something more 1. George A. Akerlof and Robert J. Shiller, Phishing for Phools: The Economics of Manipulation and Deception (Princeton University Press, 2015).

  • 2. Seeing Backwards: Raphael’S Portrait of Nikolai Vasil’Evich Gogol1 Ilya Vinitsky
    M Reading Backwards An Advance Retrospective on Russian Literature READING BACKWARDS EDITED BY MUIREANN MAGUIRE AND TIMOTHY LANGEN An Advance Retrospective This book outlines with theoretical and literary historical rigor a highly innovative approach to the writing of Russian literary history and to the reading of canonical Russian texts. on Russian Literature AGUI —William Mills Todd III, Harvard University Russian authors […] were able to draw their ideas from their predecessors, but also from their successors, R testifying to the open-mindedness that characterizes the Slavic soul. This book restores the truth. E AND —Pierre Bayard, University of Paris 8 This edited volume employs the paradoxical notion of ‘anticipatory plagiarism’—developed in the 1960s L by the ‘Oulipo’ group of French writers and thinkers—as a mode for reading Russian literature. Reversing established critical approaches to the canon and literary influence, its contributors ask us to consider how ANGEN reading against linear chronologies can elicit fascinating new patterns and perspectives. Reading Backwards: An Advance Retrospective on Russian Literature re-assesses three major nineteenth- century authors—Gogol, Dostoevsky and Tolstoy—either in terms of previous writers and artists who ( plagiarized them (such as Raphael, Homer, or Hall Caine), or of their own depredations against later writers EDS (from J.M. Coetzee to Liudmila Petrushevskaia). ) R ) Far from suggesting that past authors literally stole from their descendants, these engaging essays, contributed by both early-career and senior scholars of Russian and comparative literature, encourage us to identify the contingent and familiar within classic texts. By moving beyond rigid notions of cultural heritage and literary canons, they demonstrate that inspiration is cyclical, influence can flow in multiple directions, and no idea is ever truly original.

    TOLSTOY'S AESTHETICS AND HIS ART REVIEW ARTICLE: The Tolstoy Questions: Reflections on the Silbajoria Theses Gary Saul Morson Northwestern University The critical history of certain writers sometimes centers on a set of recurrent questions. Addressed by virtually all studies that aspire to more than passing interest, these questions have typically been asked, answered, and reformulated from the writer's time to ours. A consensus somehow refuses to form. Not all writers have proven controversial in this way. I can think of no "Turgenev question"; important studies usually focus on a variety of smaller issues pertaining to specific works or passages. 1 Perhaps there is a Chekhov question concerning the extent to which his plays are really comedies. Gogol in a sense is nothing but Question. Most obviously, there is an n accursed question" about Dostoevsky, often phrased as the problem of "the two Dostoevskys." What relation do the fanatic views expressed in his journalism, and especially in the Diary of a Writer, have to do with his great fiction? For there is obviously a difference in quality of thought between the great novels and (let us say) Dostoevsky's writings on the Eastern question and the Jews. Did the act of composing novels somehow allow him to transcend his own most cherished convictions? If so, was that because of the need to create convincing characters or because of the consciousness that great literature must be more than topical? It would seem that that we have not one, but several, Tolstoy questions. Significant comprehensive Tolstoy criticism always addresses one, and usually more than one of them.
