Sarah Young

Dostoevsky's The Idiot and the Ethical Foundations of Narrative

Reading, Narrating, Scripting

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

In considering Dostoevsky's 'The Idiot', a novel less easily defined in terms of plot and ideas than his other major fictional works, Sarah Young addresses problems in the novel unresolved by previous interpretations, and in doing so fills a significant gap in Dostoevsky studies.
