Dostoevsky and the Trial of Nastasia Kairova: Carnal Love, Crimes of Passion, and Spiritual Redemption
The commentaries on newly instituted jury trials in Russia that Dostoevsky provided in his Diary of a Writer during the 1870s has attracted scholarly attention mainly for the legal and moral issues he addresses in them. His commentary on two jury trials in particular–those of Kroneberg and Kornilova (both of which involve violence toward children)–has attracted most of this scholarly attention. The present article examines Dostoevsky's commentary…

No More Horsing Around: Sex, Love, and Motherhood in Tolstoi'sKholstomer
By giving us a horse's perspective on human life, Lev Tolstoi's Kholstomer (1886) has usually been recognized in the west as a stellar example of the author's use of "defamiliarization." Most of the critical attention the story has received in Russia, by contrast, consists of Soviet-era studies diat examine the creative history of the text and/or remark on its satiric elements. In this article, Ronald D. LeBlanc examines instead the treatment of …
Western Law, Russian Justice: Dostoevsky, the Jury Trial, and the Law
Gary Rosenshield offers a new interpretation of Dostoevsky's greatest novel, The Brothers Karamazov. He explores Dostoevsky's critique and exploitation of the jury trial for his own ideological agenda, both in his journalism and his fiction, contextualizing his portrayal of trials and trial participants (lawyers, jurors, defendants, judges) in the political, social, and ideological milieu of his time. Rosenshield presents Dostoevsky's critique in…

Feeding a Poor Dog a Bone: The Quest for Nourishment in Bulgakov's Sobach'e Serdtse
M ikhail Bulgakov's Sobach'e serdtse (1925), most critics would agree, is essentially the tale of transformation gone awry: it tells the story of how scientistthrough misguided organ transplant operation-turns a perfectly delightful dog into disgustingly vulgar quasi-human being.' As Helena Goscilo explains, those human qualities that made Sharik so winsome are replaced in Sharikov by baser impulses.2 Few readers, I think, would seriously dispute…

The Russianization of Gil Blas: A Study in Literary Appropriation
Teniers, Flemish Art, and the Natural School Debate
Horace's dictum, Utpictura poesis, might appear anachronistic today in light of modern literary theory, which has tended to view literature as a distinctly verbal form of art and has preferred lately (especially during the current craze for Mikhail Bakhtin) to examine such decidedly nongraphic aspects of prose fiction as narratology, dialogicality, and polyphony
Teniersism: Seventeenth-Century Flemish Art and Early Nineteenth-Century Russian Prose
Although the tendency to compare native authors with leading figures from modem and classical European literature is by no means restricted to Russia alone, the practice has certainly flourished in that country over the past two hundred years. Long before Vasilii Aksenov was dubbed the Slavic Salinger during the 1960s, writers in Russia had come to tolerate a custom whereby critics measured the poetics or the style of their works against the mode…

Making "Gil Blas" Russian
A Russian Tarzan, or "Aping" Jocko
The ape-the Tarzan ape-has risen to its full height and has overwhelmed us. The ape has caressed the Russian reader. The reader is captive in the ape's paws.Andrei SoboV, "Vplenu u obez'ian" (1924)"If one were to write a Russian Tarzan and place him entirely within present-day Russian conditions," Viktor Shklovskii asserted in the midst of the veritable Tarzan "craze" that swept across the Soviet Union during the early 1920s, "he would probably n…

Satisfying Khlestakov's Appetite: The Semiotics of Eating in The Inspector General
The belly is the belle of his stories, the nose is their beau."Vladimir Nabokov, Nikolai Gogol (1944)The subject of gastronomy-as it touches upon the significance of what, how, and why man eats-has begun to receive increasing attention in recent years, during which time quite a number of books on the history of food and drink have appeared. Scholars, moreover, have demonstrated a heightened interest lately in the anthropological aspects of this t…
