What is Dostoevsky : the Major Fiction about?

" Wasiolek illuminates Dostoevsky's creatures in a series of analyses, which are always lucid and often brilliant one traces the progress of Dostoevsky's intentions and beliefs, and appreciates once again the variety and subtlety with which he dramatizes the dark forces of the will that underlie our moral judgments ." -- Helen Muchnic, The New York Review of Books In the past, critics have considered Dostoevsky an artist, thinker, or psychologies, according to their own temperament. Now with the appearance of Dostoevsky: The Major Fiction , it is at last possible to see him whole--for in this close, critical reading of Dostoevsky's major works the aesthetic, ideological, and psychological factors are as thoroughly interwoven and interdependent as they are in the novels themselves. Wasiolek's basic critical concern parallels Dostoevsky's own creative one: the interplay of moral sensibility and raw reality, and especially the dialectic of the will against the world, the intention against the action. The book provides an analytical and critical treatment of The Double , The Landlady , Netochka Nezvanova , The House of the Dead , The Insulted and the Injured , Notes from Under
