Dostoevsky and Romantic Realism is Donald Fanger's groundbreaking study of the art of Dostoevsky and the literary and historical context in which it was created. Through detailed analyses of the work of Balzac, Dickens, and Gogol, Fanger identifies romantic realism, the transformative fusion of two generic categories, as a powerful imaginary response to the great modern city. This fusion reaches its aesthetic and metaphysical climax in Dostoevsky, whose vision -- culminating in Crime and Punishment -- is seen by Fanger as the final synthesis of romantic realism. Caryl Emerson provides a foreword to the paperback edition.

Dostoevsky In Context,
By
This review is from: Dostoevsky and Romantic Realism: A Study of Dostoevsky in Relation to Balzac, Dickens, and Gogol (SRLT) (Paperback)
This study of Dostoevsky explores his Romantic Realist storytelling style, which is too often neglected in a rush to treat him as a proto-Existentialist. Some of his ideas rush ahead to Existentialism, but the construction of his novels places him firmly in the Romantic tradition.
