The Coherence of the Russian Classics Essays on the Dynamics of Creativity

This innovative book presents some fundamentally new interpretations of the best-known and best-loved classics of Russian literature. It does so by applying to them the latest Western research on creativity and literary theory. Readers will come away from the book with an enhanced understanding of individual works by classic authors such as Tolstoy and Dostoyevsky as well as of the overall evolution of nineteenth-century Russian literature.

Relazione

"Curtis' interjection of Russian terms, together with their English translations, gives a very pleasant feeling to the book. And one gets the Slavic emotions when he translates such Russianisms as tser'kovnost' as 'churchiness.' When Curtis makes assertions or arguments it is never done with dogmatism - he rather invites discussion and argument." - Irwin Weil, Professor Emeritus of Slavic Languages and Literatures, Northwestern University
