Dostoevsky's Democracy
Dostoevsky's Democracy offers a major reinterpretation of the life and work of the great Russian writer by closely reexamining the crucial transitional period between the early works of the 1840s and the important novels of the 1860s. Sentenced to death in 1849 for utopian socialist political activity, the 28-year-old Dostoevsky was subjected to a mock execution and then exiled to Siberia for a decade, including four years in a forced labor camp,…

“The Human Document”
“The Human Document” examines the representation of reading in Coetzee's novel Elizabeth Costello (2003) as an amoral “conspiracy” or “breathing together” of reader and fictional character.

Silence and Servitude: Bondage and Self-invention in Russia and America, 1780-1861
In an 1881 letter to his would-be Russian translator, Walt Whitman described his sense of a mystical resemblance-improbable yet undeniable-between Russian and America, two nations traditionally regarded as not merely geographically but also culturally marginal to the great nations of Europe:You Russians and we Americans;-our countries so distant, so unlike at a first glance ... and yet in certain features, and vastest ones, so resembling each oth…
